Take Action to Make Our Schools Green

Green schools are part of our global effort to fight climate change. While approximately 39% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions originate from buildings, a green school can lead to annual emission reductions of 585,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the principal greenhouse gas. In addition to saving energy and helping the environment, green schools are healthier for the students and teachers that inhabit them.
