Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology

 As a mother of 3 being a good role model and example for my children is at the top of my priority list. I think teaching my children that being environmentally friendly in all aspects of our every day life is a very important factor... from the light bulbs we use to the trash and grocery bags. To conserving water and growing our own fruits and vegetables. When I heard Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition was being held by Pureology... I couldn't resist to enter. I am not very confident of winning but I made sure to make it a lesson for my children because THEY deserve it.... Bellow are some points in why it is important and how it can positively affect a student body and school by going green. Please take a look and nominate your school too!

 The Green Schools Camapign by Pureology is about providing a safe, healthy, optimized learning environment for children. I am only one of millions of students who have attended schools with poor lighting, lead paint and no heat or air conditioning. Green Schools is focusing reducing schools’ carbon footprint, which will then help to improve student performance, which it has shown to increase by 25% after a school becomes a ‘green learning environment’. That 25% of improvement is not just from the student’s physical environment being improved…the school now has more funds to channel back into resources to help kids be successful.

When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to:

Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves!

More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials.

Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.
