The Go Green Initiative is the Industry Leader
The Go Green Initiative is the nation's fastest growing fully comprehensive environmental action plan for schools.
By promoting environmental stewardship on campuses from elementary schools through universities, Go Green works to involve families, businesses, and local governments in the common goal of protecting human health through environmental stewardship.
Since its inception in July 2002, the Go Green Initiative has been implemented in 39 states and over 650 schools, along with schools in Europe, Mexico, and Africa. There are currently over 1 million students and teachers in registered Go Green schools. The Go Green Initiative has been carefully evaluated and endorsed by
the National School Boards Association, National Recycling Coalition, 8
State PTA boards, the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the
California Resource Recovery Association, the Recycling Alliance of
Texas, the New York State Association for Reduction, Reuse and
Recycling, and many more. | |
