A recent headline I saw on a magazine was "Schools Save the Planet!" While it is easy to make jokes about how we are now saved because of these schools, it makes conservation no less important. Going green should be a standard of living both at home and at school. Learn ways to go green at school and teach your students about the importance of doing so as well.

Great tips on Going Green!

Teach students the importance of recycling by making recycled paper!

While Earth Day is celebrated only once a year, these lessons and concepts should be revisited frequently:

Hello Jennifer,

I am currently co-chairing the K-12 Committee of the Cobb Education Consortium(CEC) in Cobb County Georgia. We are in the process of creating a Wiki called CEC Green Umbrella: http://cecgreenumbrella.wikispaces.com/

Our Wiki will provide our 3R's (Recommendations, Research, and Resources) for any schools looking to improve in the area of Going Green. We would like to thank you for providing such an excellent resource as we compile our information.

Sincerely,
Jason Cathey
Co-Chair K-12
Cobb Education Consortium
