The Green Schools Program helps students make a difference in schools energy use by teaching the importance of energy efficiency.  The school becomes a learning lab and science, language arts, and math become tools to solve a global problem.

Overview: 

Energy costs are an enormous expense for our schools — in many school, they are second only to personnel costs, exceeding the cost of textbooks and supplies. Much of that energy goes wasted. Through basic changes in operations, maintenance, and individual behavior, schools participating in the Green Schools program have achieved reductions in energy use of 5 to 15 percent.

The Green Schools Program has been active in Alabama, California, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C.
