Do you have classroom or club (green team) projects that have students take action to conserve resources and reduce waste? If so, consider certifying your classroom or team / club under our Green Star Schools Program through the waste reduction pathway. You can begin this process by filling out the following GSS form.    

Also, if you are considering doing classroom or green team / club action projects to conserve resources and reduce waste check out the following list (Classroom / Club Action Project Ideas) below. If you need help getting started with an action project let us know at sustainability@smcgov.org and we would be happy to help.  Once projects are complete you can fill out the GSS form to get your club or classroom GSS certified.

Classroom / Club Action Project Ideas:

Do at least 25% of your student population participate in a program or project to reduce waste at your school such as a recycling and compost program, does your school have policies to conserve resources and reduce waste, do school staff support recycling and composting at your school, etc.? If so, consider certifying your school under our GSS program.
