Membership

Schools

There are more than 95,000 public schools and 34,000 private and independent schools in the U.S. alone. Schools must be active participants in global efforts to conserve resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No individual school or subset of schools can solve this problem alone.

We must work together now to preserve our planet  so that  future generations can thrive. GSA membership is open to all schools public and private, worldwide. Comprised of students, administrators, faculty, facility managers, business officers, and parents, the GSA seeks to remove all obstacles for school participation. As a result, membership in the Green Schools Alliance is FREE TO SCHOOLS, based only on a commitment of environmental leadership.

There are two levels of “Commitment”:

Climate Champion Level: Reduce my school’s carbon footprint by at least 30% within 5 years, and achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2020.

Climate Steward Level: Calculate my school’s carbon footprint by establishing an energy and carbon emissions baseline. Achieve carbon reductions over time.

Partners

We welcome the opportunity to work with Corporate, NGO, Government and individual partners to build a greater green school community.  More info >
