Green Schools Summit & Expo Coming

Green schools save money, make for healthy students and teachers and can help pave the way to a vigorous green economy and good jobs. The fifth annual Green California Schools Summit & Expo, taking place Oct. 17-18, 2011 at the Pasadena Convention Center, is the place to learn about all aspects of green schools — from funding, to new building technologies, to implementing green curriculum.  This year, for the first time, the Green California Schools Summit and the Green California Community Colleges Summits will be held concurrently. Carl Pope, Sierra Club executive chairman and co-chair of the newly-formed Blue-Green Alliance, will be the keynote speaker during a general session open to attendees from both summits. Among the features will be a full education program, a Leadership Awards reception and a special one-day Green Curriculum Institute for educators featuring the new Environmental Education Initiative.
