USGBC Colorado Convenes Coalition to Discuss Green Schools Initiatives
As the Colorado chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council ramps up for its Green Schools Summit 2015, it has launched a new coalition of green school partners.
“Education is no longer a passive experience where students sit in front of a chalkboard. The brightest school systems get students out from behind their desks to learn in a hands-on teaching style,” said Patti Mason, executive director, USGBC Colorado Chapter. “Green schools offer an ideal learning environment for 21st Century students. They also lead to improved health, test scores and faculty retention.”
