Green Your School

Does your cafeteria lack recycling receptacles? Are the library's light bulbs stuck in a pre-CLF time warp? Give your school a green makeover this fall. By convincing your teachers and fellow students to help reduce education's environmental footprint, you could help your middle or high school win up to $1500 through dosomething.org's Increase Your Green Competition. Energy-saving initiatives must be student-led; the competition begins October 13th and registration has already begun. Go Big Green!
