Dear WGBA Friends,


Where we learn matters.  Green Apple Day of Service, on September 28th helps all of us put that into action.  WGBA would like to encourage all of our members to reach out to their K-12 schools throughout the state to help plan Green Apple Day of Service projects.  You, our members are a great embodiment of sustainability knowledge.  We also know that you are a great resource to all of our area schools.  Here is an opportunity to make those connections!

 

We'd like to share our members' Green Apple Day of Service projects at the SE2 Conference.  Get involved with your area schools, plan a project, and share your photos with us!

Project Ideas:

  • Energy audits with students
  • Build a garden or plant fruit trees
  • Install bike racks and do a ride to school
  • Refresh classrooms with low VOC paint and carpet
  • Host an electronics recycling event for the school and neighborhood

First, REGISTER your project:   

http://mygreenapple.org/dayofservice   

 

Even if all your details are not worked out, get your Green Apple Day of Service program in the cue.  This will help garner volunteers and support.

 

Wondering what a Green Apple Day of Service project might be?  Check out the USGBC's webinars on several service day programs:  http://mygreenapple.org/resource/web-trainings 

 

Green Apple Day of Service is a great opportunity for outreach on green building in our communities.  WGBA and USGBC will be garnering a lot of media around this day of service.  Please consider joining us with a project of your own!

 

Questions?  WGBA's Green Schools Committee is supporting Green Apple Day of Service in Wisconsin.  If you'd like to ask questions or discuss service possibilities, please contact Leah Samson-Samuel at leah.samson-samuel@madisonenvironmental.com
