Building Greener, Healthier Schools
A new approach to school design and construction aims to create facilities that not only advance the learning process, but are also healthy, environmentally sound and cost-effective to operate. This method is gaining momentum in communities throughout the country and is the subject of a new Environmental Law Institute (ELI) report, "Building Healthy, High Performance Schools: A Review of Selected State and Local Initiatives."
Attend a brown-bag discussion on the policies, programs and resources that have been developed to help ensure schools are sustainable – educationally, environmentally and financially – on Thursday, Jan. 15, from noon to 2 p.m., in the ELI conference room (1616 P St. NW). Reserve a space by calling 202/939-3858 or by sending an e-mail here.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
