Wherever we turn, it seems we are seeing, hearing, or reading about going green. The Tennessean featured an article on the front page today about schools focusing more and more on being environment-friendly, or "green." Some schools are focusing more on recycling, some are constructing energy-saving buildings. A high school student from St. Cecilia Academy recommends schools go green by having more kids ride bikes, by recycling being a way of life, and by saving energy by having more outdoor classes. Not all schools can build huge new energy-efficient buildings, but even the small stuff matters, like our attitude and our effort to pick up trash, recycle, or turn off lights when we leave the classroom. And then, all that small stuff adds up and becomes a BIG change for the better. What kinds of things would you like to see our school do to be more green? Post your reply here. We can make a difference!
