Why Schools?

 

By bringing together the knowledge and the funding necessary, we will accelerate change at a point of high impact: U.S. Schools.

Green Schools provide a healthier learning environment for students and a healthier workplace for teachers.

Many schools buildings in every state are operating inefficiently. We will reduce the environmental footprint of these schools.

With a focus on schools, we educate our future leaders about environmental responsibility, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and the real possibility of making a change.

By greening schools buildings, we influence the community to build or renovate green by creating awareness of the issues and the possibilities.

This short film by Kontent Real highlights the significance of learning in a green school, as told by the students of the Sidwell Friends school. The video highlights the learning and sense of environmental stewardship taken on by students who were engaged in the process of achieving green building. The U.S. Green Schools Foundation hopes very much to see students across the United States achieve the level of understanding and responsibility exhibited by students in this film.
