Greening Schools
We work with teams of students, teachers, administrators, parents and community members to identify and carry out sustainability initiatives at schools.  Our process takes you from big ideas to small details and back.

 


Examples of work products include:

  • Sustainability plan design and tracking
  • Green Team coaching
  • Creating district-wide policies
  • (e.g. energy, waste, procurement)
  • Curriculum development linked to core standards
  • Habitat Restoration, School Gardens, Zero Waste

“Schools could really use Sustainability Plans.  They seem to be going at this in an unorganized fashion.  They need the step-by-step assessment and implementation plans that Sandy has in place.”
– Kim Scheibly, Outreach and Communications Manager, Marin Sanitary Service
