April is Earth Month, a time to reflect on environmental awareness and GO GREEN! But what does “going green” even mean? On this episode, we are joined by Jema Estrella and Laura Verbryck who lead our green schools initiative at the Los Angeles County Office of Education. You will learn all about sustainability in the education sector and how schools in LA County are supporting green initiatives, such as LAUSD’s efforts to establishing a minimum of 30% of green spaces for all campuses, or Long Beach Unified’s efforts to transition away from using fossil fuels and only use only clean energy within their district. You will also pick up tips on how you as a student, educator or LA County resident can move towards a more sustainable future.
To further our efforts in GOING GREEN, please join us at our 2023 Green Schools Symposium: A facilitated, experiential, leadership event at the intersection of environmental & human sustainability within post-pandemic education.
