Education
Did you know that 20% of America attends school every day? That is more than 55 million students and more than 5 million faculty, staff and administrators. Over a quarter of these students and teachers attend schools that are considered substandard or dangerous to occupant health.
Finally, people are realizing that “green schools” are healthy for students, teachers and the environment. Schools can and should be safe, healthy and productive learning environments for everyone.
Public and private schools are realizing that going green actually makes sense!
Green Schools save on average:
* $100,000 per year- enought to hire two new teachers, buy 200 new computers or purchase 5,000 textbooks and,
* save 30-50% on reductions in Energy Usage and Utiliy Bills and,
* see a 30-45% reduction in Water Usage
While the average increase cost in construction costs to build green is only 2%- this is then paid back in 14-24 months!
