5 Steps to a Greener School District
Hines, Gary
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v75 n7 p43-46 Mar 2010
Sometimes all it takes is a little fate to accomplish something great, or in this case, something green. The Broward County Public School (BCPS) District shows how a natural disaster (Hurricane Wilma) inspired a green revolution. This article presents the five steps that the Broward County School District followed in implementing an Environmental Stewardship program--transforming the district into one of the greenest in the nation: (1) make a plan; (2) take small steps; (3) get everyone involved; (4) walk the talk; and (5) talk about it.
