Greening Schools was a joint project between the Illinois EPA and the Waste Management Research Center.

Funding is no longer available to maintain all the services Greening Schools once provided. However, we still update the news and funding information sections.

IEPA still provides some technical assistance. Please contact Becky Lockart at Becky.Lockart@illinois.gov or 217-524-9642.

In keeping with the goals of Greening Schools, we are offering specific resources to Parents and Parent-Teacher Associations.

Visit the PTA - Green Your Lesson Plan for resources supporting educational objectives through lessons and activities.
