Green Schools Green Map for NYC & the World
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesTo address poor learning conditions, apathetic students, unaware families and communities, the online Green Schools Green Map will impact many of NYC’s 2,000,000 kids. Designed to reach and teach students, teachers and administrators as well as families, decision makers and press, schools will save CO2, energy, water, waste, wildlife and money!

Latest Update from the FieldReport on Green Schools Green Map for NYC & The WorldBy Wendy Brawer - Founding Director & Secretary, August 06, 2008 05:51 PM
The Green Schools Green Map is designed to help our schools become healthier learning environments. Over the last few months, we have met with numerous educators and schools professionals as we develop the process and means of involving students in the annual assessment of their own school's progress. Our plans include testing the process in a limited number of schools, then rolling it out in NYC during the Fall 2008 semester. After we assess and adjust, we will invited schools worldwide to take part. Read 1 more "Updates from the Field" | Comment on this update How Else You Can Help |
