The Green Schools Initiative was founded in 2004 by parent-environmentalists who were shocked by how un-environmental their kids’ schools were and mobilized to improve the environmental health and ecological sustainability of schools in the U.S. We believe it is essential to protect children’s health – at school and in the world beyond school – and we work to catalyze and support “green” actions by kids, teachers, parents, and policymakers to: * Eliminate toxics * Use resources sustainably * Create green spaces and buildings * Serve healthy food, and teach stewardship
We are starting our efforts with schools throughout California; we collaborate with and support organizations and individuals in other states and nationally.
