Trash Talk: Report from Sacramento

We all know that it's not enough to just 'talk the talk.' You've got to 'walk the walk,' and put your support of a more sustainable world into action.

We did just that at our 4th annual Green Schools National Conference in Sacramento. Check out the results of our on-site recycling efforts -- good news for attendees, better news for the planet! 

"Serving on the board of GSNN provides me the opportunity to help an important idea become an important reality in schools across the country," says Susan, who is Executive Director of the Evergreen Community Charter School in North Carolina. "The idea of being a green school was once valued only by a few but there is now a national movement behind making healthier places, connections and curricula for our youth."

Susan also notes that the GSNN has a bright future. "Moving forward, I envision GSNN helping to better coordinate the efforts of many, connecting individuals and organizations from a variety of professions on both regional and national levels. We can also serve as a forum for youth voice as they politely ask the pro-green adults to move out of their way so they can take action!"
