This Quick Start Guide to Green Schools aims to inspire,
encourage, and teach schools how to become more conscious of their actions and
environment. Empowering students, faculty, and staff – a grassroots effort – is
crucial to protecting the environment. The guide aims to foster beneficial
environmental plans, proceeded by action, among schools worldwide. There are
many ways to achieve sustainability but the key is to build a plan for the long
term. This guide is only one means of
beginning a green school. There are so many ideas, steps, stages to follow but
there is no set formula. By the end, hopefully your school will be more
cognizant of energy, water, transportation, and waste issues, determined to
make a difference through curricular changes, facilities management, and community
involvement – the holistic approach to sustainability that involves every
section of the school.
Singapore American School is used as a case study as a comprehensive
example of successful environmental action across curriculum, facilities, and
community support.
