Green Team Workshops

Green Team Workshops Green Teams can become involved in the school recycling program.

Is your class or environmental club ready to move from classroom learning to environmental action? Green Team workshops are ideal for leadership groups, environmental clubs or life skills classes interested in projects such as improving or expanding the school recycling program, stenciling storm drains with "Dump No Waste" messages, planting native gardens, or educating peers or younger students about environmental topics. Teams that complete projects are eligible to win prizes and recognition. Read about current secondary school Green Team Projects for ideas or inspiration.

To schedule a Green Team workshop or discuss project ideas, contact a Green Team specialist at 206-583-0655 or greenteam@triangleassociates.com. Details are available in the Green Team brochure (PDF, 522 K).
