Subject: Little Green Schools

Synergy School has just started composting with the SF
Dept of Education. If you work at an SF school,
please look into it! They help you plan out a program
to implement recycling/ composting and curriculum into
your school.

Here's some more green schools info:

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!
