  • "START brings people, planning, and tracking of sustainability initiatives across a school system together into one place."

    Hope, Missouri Green Schools (Missouri, USA)

  • "We have been using the START tool to bring together teachers in our school and across our district to identify where we are doing well and where we have gaps in our sustainability goals. With START, we have now included sustainability in our new strategic plan and this will be the perfect tool to help us measure our growth and progress... The perfect tool for us at just the right time."

    Margo, Fivetowns Community School District (Maine, USA)

  • "I really LOVE the tool and want to do more with it next year. Our students clearly value it as well."

    Karl, Campbell Hall School (California, CA)

  • "For schools it's unique value is in simple data management and visualization to enable students, teachers and staff to measure, understand and manage their impact from climate related behaviors in school daily life regarding energy, water and waste, as well as empowering learners and teachers to use the school as a living laboratory and conduct place/project based learning... START enables small organizations like us to start this work from zero and really make a difference."

    Heran (Beijing, China)

  • "I really liked the new START tool we have been using, and I think it is really interesting. I wish we had more opportunities and time to explore it!"

    Alexandra, 11th Grade Student (California, USA)

  • "I think the START tool can help make the communities who implement it more aware of their impact and how they can improve."

    Levi, 11th Grade Student (California, USA)

  • "When we created the Whole School Sustainability Framework, we knew that a process as well as metrics were needed to guide schools. Along came START which translates our extensive academic research into practical and measurable steps - helping numerous schools and districts across the U.S. and internationally!"
