The Problem

Teen Green is a group of students who envision and carry out projects to preserve the environment, with the help of Uncommon Good's infrastructure and supervision. It gives youth a leadership voice in the community, and teaches them fund raising, community organizing, the principals of environmental science and business skills. It also provides them with the essential leadership and community service experience that is essential today for a student to be competitive for college. Leadership of the group is provided by high school students, but younger students and their families, also participate as members.

Plan of Action

The members of Teen Green are actively working on building a model environmentally friendly structure made of earth and biodegradable goods using a form of building called Superadobe developed by Nader Khalili. Fundraising efforts have begun for financing a larger structure, built in the same way, which can be utilized by student groups, community groups and for environmental education purposes. Both of these structures will serve as a model not only for members of Teen Green, but also members of the community at large. They represent the students' passion for the environment and their ability to have an impact on their community.
