I would like to take part of this competition because we live in a farm town. Kids have to inhale all this bad air and some kids can not even get better when they are sick because all this pollution that they keep inhaling.. <3 With a better school setup they will be more comfortable and improve in their studies.

WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?
When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:
Improved student performance.
When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound
quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and
paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also
improves!
More funds for student resources.
When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be
reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into
resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers
and other essentials.
Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.

GREENER SCHOOLS = A BRIGHTER FUTURE
Every
child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, comfortable and free
of harmful toxins. Unfortunately, many schools across the country lack
the funds to carry out much-needed repairs and renovations—subjecting
children to outdated facilities with improper ventilation, poor lighting
and inefficient energy usage. Global Green USA is working to address this situation and ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn in a healthy, green school.
You can help by nominating a school in your area for a Green School Makeover—read on to learn more, and find out how you can green your school!
