Green Schools

name

Energy costs are an enormous expense for our nation's schools. To help free up more resources for education while strengthening academic learning, the Alliance's Green Schools Program engages students in creating energy-saving activities in their schools, using hands-on, real-world projects. Through basic changes in the operations, maintenance, and individual behavior, Green Schools has achieved reductions in energy use of 5 to 15 percent among participating schools. In addition, Green Schools encourages students to apply the lessons of energy-efficiency message in their homes and communities. Learn more about Green Schools and how to get involved and visit our Green Schools in Action page to read featured case studies from our schools.

The Alliance to Save Energy kicked off its first Green Schools program in its hometown on October 23rd, bringing the Saving Energy in DC Schools (SEDS) Program to the District of Columbia.
