Obligatory Back to School Post Warning! But I assure you, this is not the same as all the rest. While you can find tons of info on green school supplies and clothing that you can buy, this one is for the kids and it doesn’t cost you anything. You just have to point and click (and offer your positive encouragement, of course!) and the rest is up to them.

The Green Squad – a project of the National Resources Defense Council and the Healthy Schools Network – sets out to educate children about the impact that their schools have on the environment and their health.

Makes sense, right?  We adults spend the majority of our time in our office building, but for most of the year kids will predominantly be at their school.  The site offers a slew of tools like this poster of 3 things to do today, a tour of the Green Squad’s virtual school highlighting some key hot spots to check for at their own school along with a progress report for keeping track of their findings along with tools for teachers to involve more of their classmates.
