This post is about Green School makeover competition presented by Pureology.
Here is a little info a bout the competition:
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.
I entered my son’s school into the competition because I truly believe in going green and doing my part to save the Earth. Just like we only have one life, we only have one Earth and we have to take care of it or it will not take care of us. These are values we have to start teaching our kids at an early age.
