The goal of the program is to help schools identify opportunities to “green” your buildings and operations ranging from the solid waste you generate, to the indoor environment you provide, and to the energy and supplies you consume. The OK GreenSchools (GS) committee, website and listserv are resources to help each school achieve its own goals. The program has been divided into three tracks: Track 1 : School Investigations (student led) Track 2 : Energy Star for Schools (EPA certification) Track 3 : LEED for Schools (both retrofits and new construction) Schools can participate in any of the tracks, at any time.
