On Saturday, September 28th, the Center for Green Schools (a USGBC program) sponsored its second annual global Green Apple Day of Service. Companies, parents, teachers, students, and other organizations engaged in local service projects with the goal of eventually transforming all schools into healthy, safe and productive learning environments.
One-quarter of the population of the United States enter schools everyday. Many of these schools use energy inefficiently and the indoor air may be filled with toxins and mold.
Projects include energy and water conservation, indoor improvements, outdoor planting, recycling and many more.
