US ED to Launch Green Ribbon Schools Program

摘要

The United States Department of Education has launched a new program to recognize schools for their sustainability efforts. The Green Ribbon Schools program—being administered by the ED and supported by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the White House Council on Environmental Quality—will be modeled on the Blue Ribbon Schools program (also administered by the ED). But instead of focusing on academic achievement, the program will recognize schools for energy conservation, creating healthy learning spaces, and teaching environmental literacy.
