Welcome to our new blog!  It is our goal to provide support to schools that are trying to go “green”.  This blog has been posted by members of the USGBC (US Green Building Council) Palm Beach Green Schools Committee in an effort to assist school administrators, teachers, and students in their efforts to make schools an environmentally responsible and healthy place to work and learn. 
By transforming the physical environment of a learning institution, we have the ability to impact students, teachers and communities and assist schools in saving money by saving energy and helping schools impart ecological responsibility to their students. 
We are here to provide free assistance to assist schools in reaching their green goals.  For any schools that have not yet engaged in the process of “going green” we wanted to announce our presence publicly that we are available as volunteers to help you in your quest.  We can also point schools in the direction of available green school grants.
In future blog posts you will find ways to participate connect with us, announcements of green school events and you will find a wide variety of free resources at your fingertips!
