WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?
|
When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:
Improved student performance.
When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound
quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and
paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also
improves!
More funds for student resources.
When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be
reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into
resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers
and other essentials.
Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.

GREENER SCHOOLS = A BRIGHTER FUTURE
|
Every
child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, comfortable and free
of harmful toxins. Unfortunately, many schools across the country lack
the funds to carry out much-needed repairs and renovations—subjecting
children to outdated facilities with improper ventilation, poor lighting
and inefficient energy usage. Global Green USA is working to address this situation and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn in a healthy, green school.
You can help by nominating a school in your area for a Green School Makeover—read on to learn more, and find out how you can green your school!

| So basically, you nominate your child's school and the winner's school receives a makeover resulting in improved facilities, happier kids, and most likely improved performance from these happier kids. It also teaches the children social responsibility and it teaches them to be greener for the long-term. It will also save the town a lot of money! You'll be a hero!
