Greening their Schools

The Green Squad

The Green Squad: Your School, Your Health and the Environment - The supplies your school uses and many of its practices affect the environment in and around your school, your community and even the rest of the world. We found some problems with the way our school was doing things. That doesn't mean you'll find the same ones. But you can learn from our experience, and be on the lookout.

What You Can Do - Start by touring our school to learn about potential problems and solutions to them. Then investigate at your own school. If you discover an environmental or health problem, you can use our examples and advice to help solve it.
