HOW GREEN IS MY TOWN?

The folks at Grassroots Environmental Education have created an easy way to find out. Their EPA-award winning environmental assessment program helps community members and local governments alike, join in collaborative efforts to address issues of climate change, sustainability and environmental health.

It's a Checklist: How is your city, town, or village doing in its efforts to address these issues? 

It's a Toolbox: Does your town need a good policy for green procurement, tree protection or transportation? 

It's an Educational Tool: Help your students gain a broad perspective of subjects and learn how local governments can address and affect complex global issues.

"How Green Is My Town?" was conceived and developed by Grassroots Environmental Education, a non-profit organization. To learn more about innovative projects and programs, please visit www.GrassrootsInfo.org.
