Step 1: Keep It Simple
There are many great resources and organizations that promote the Green
School movement. In Fact, too many to list on this page!

The problem is that many groups make it too difficult to join the Green Schools
movement. They require large leadership teams or extensive plans to
be filled out.

This results in no action. Keep it simple and do something good for your
community. Simple is best and simple is sustainable.

Step 2: Consider Green Apparel
School apparel is the common thread that bonds all schools. Take the opportunity
for your school apparel program to educate your community and kick start
your Green Schools program.

The right school apparel program can teach the following lessons:
• Fair Trade• Social Justice• Sustainable Practices

A better school apparel program does not cost more! What is keeping your
group from making the change?

Step 3: Reduce & Reuse
America has a great fascination for recycling and we tend to ignore the more
important ideas of reduce and reuse.

Keep it simple! Start in a classroom, lunchroom or school event. Come up
with a plan to Reduce and Reuse.

Starting is the most important part! Now share and cultivate the idea at your
school and watch it grow.

Step 4: Take Back the Tap
Our country is addicted to disposable plastic. Do you part in conserving
resources while improving school spirit with a water bottle program.

Join the movement of schools across the nation drinking tap water and refusing
disposable plastic bottles.

Providing high quality custom reusable water bottles helps spread the message
that your school cares about the environment.

Step 5: Service
Service is at the core of the Green Schools movement. Help educate your
community and support local and global causes.

Helping is contagious! Start small with a single club or group and soon the entire school will be making their community
stronger through service.
