Green Schools Advocacy Circle

More than 20% of America goes to school every day. Not only do learning environments have a profound impact on the health and well-being of our children, they represent a tremendous lever for mainstreaming green building practices into homes and offices around the U.S. that have not yet been connected to the green building movement.

Green schools cost less to operate, freeing up resources to truly improve students’ education. Their carefully planned acoustics and abundant daylight make it easier and more comfortable for students to learn. Their clean indoor air cuts down sick days and gives our children a head start for a healthy, prosperous future. And their innovative design provides a wealth of hands-on learning opportunities.

Across the United States, school districts large and small are realizing the benefits of building with LEED for Schools. Students, parents, teachers and community members are making the difference, by letting elected officials know they want their schools built green.

Our Vision: Green schools within this generation for every child in America.
