< Back to News RoomDecember 23rd, 2019 |

Green Building United hosted an all-day workshop for educators, administrations, and facilities personnel to promote sustainability initiatives in schools. The workshop educated attendees about opportunities to create energy-efficient and healthier classrooms and schools while decreasing their environmental impact. Topics included (1) incorporating sustainable building features into classroom curriculum (led by Broughal Middle School teachers), (2) using the Project Learning Tree School Site Investigation to introduce the hands-on, student-driven Green Schools program that emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Jacobsburg), (3) exploring PPL’s energy efficiency program for schools (led by CLEAResult), and (4) explaining the designation and importance of selecting green cleaning products that are safer for schools and the environment (led by the EPA.) Through learning and relationship building, the workshop was an effective way to develop sustainability partnership opportunities in schools throughout the region.
