Project
Learning Tree’s GreenSchools! inspires students to take personal
responsibility for improving the environment at their school, home, and in
their community. Schools can choose to become certified by Project Learning Tree as a way to honor their students, teachers,
and other members of the school community who save energy, reduce waste,
recycle, conserve water, and improve their school grounds, among other projects.
PLT has revised its GreenSchools!
certification program to reflect environmental education in the curriculum,
student leadership, and environmental action. Free kits containing a variety of
recognition items will be awarded to the first 10 schools that meet PLT’s new requirements to become a Certified
PLT GreenSchool.
PLT GreenSchools! certification
recognizes a school’s commitment to teaching students about the environment,
and maintaining a healthy and sustainable learning environment. Regardless of
where you are on the continuum, there is always room for growth and PLT, in
partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, is proud to provide a variety of resources,
grant opportunities, and other support to schools, teachers, and students who
lead the way for a more sustainable future.
