***********Please Forward and Pass Along to All Interested
Parties****************
The San Francisco-based Green Schools Initiative has just released a new
report, The Little Green Schoolhouse: Thinking Big About Ecological
Sustainability, Children's Environmental Health and K-12 Education in the
USA.
You can read the report online and/or download it via a new website,
www.greenschools.net
The Little Green Schoolhouse establishes a framework that brings together a variety of school-related environmental health and sustainability issues under one conceptual and strategic roof. It documents how our current school systems are threats to our children’s health and models of unsustainability. Drawing from a diversity of inspiring efforts going on around the country, the report also presents a broad idealistic vision of what green and healthy schools could look like. And it articulates a series of pragmatic policy recommendations, including organizing to pass school board resolutions that serve as blueprints for sustainable and healthy schools.
Overall, The Little Green Schoolhouse aims to provide parents, educators, students, environmental and health advocates, school board members, policy makers and interested community members with tools to work together to create healthy, sustainable schools.
A limited supply of hard copies of the report are also available.
Please link to the report/website and pass this message along!
Many thanks!
