Green Schools Committee

20% of America goes to school every day – that’s more than 55 million students and more than 5 million faculty, staff and administrators.  Over a quarter of these students and teachers attend schools that are considered substandard or dangerous to occupant health.

Green schools are healthy for students, teachers and the environment.  Built right, green schools are productive learning environments with ample natural light, high-quality acoustics and air that is safe to breathe.

Green schools also save energy and money.  On an average, green schools save $100,000 per year – enough to hire two new teachers, buy 200 new computers or purchase 5,000 new textbooks.  Building green schools just makes sense and is the right thing to do.

The purpose of the Green Schools committee is to promote an awareness for Green Schools and LEED for Schools in every K -12 school district within the State of New Mexico.  We are available to make presentations and provide information about the benefits of Green Schools.
