Go Green

Why Go Green?

Going green saves money, is good for the health of employees, students and teachers, improves local, national and global communities.

Becoming a greener at your school is rewarding. Saving money by reducing the use of energy and water is one of several rewards. On average, schools can reduce their energy and water bills by as much as 30 percent.

Waste reduction can also bring financial rewards. A school district in Washington started a composting program and saved $53,000 over a 3 year period just by reducing the amount of waste for pick up. Having a green attitude toward the environment not only benefits schools financially by reducing overall operating cost, but also increases profits by creating healthy dining and work environments.
