Action Tips: Convince Your School to Follow Green Methods

Is your school behind the green times? Start the process yourself! Host a presentation explaining the most energy-efficient changes your administration, teachers, and classmates can make.

Here are some ideas:
  • Have a lights out day at your school
  • Green your next school dance
  • Use CFLs: Ask school administration to replace the old bulbs with with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Three CFLs will save 300 pounds of carbon dioxide and $60 per year!
  • Use recycled paper: Printer pager should be 100% post-consumer recycled paper. That saves 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
