The goal of the Kansas Green Schools Program is to provide opportunities for preK-12 schools to increase awareness and understanding of the complex environmental interrelationships that impact public health and the environment, and promote environmental stewardship practices that relate to air quality, climate change, solid waste reduction and recycling, water management, and outdoor wildlife habitat. The program also includes an education component to schools’ green projects. Message boards and an annual report of successes and accomplishments by Kansas schools completing environmental projects and incorporating environmental education into the classroom will increase networking among schools.
