People are asking
"What can I do to
protect our environment?"
With the U.S. deciding to leave the Paris Accord, never before has there been a more important time to protect our environment and shape the future.
Creating a culture of environmental concern and action starts with students. In every school. In every state. Across the U.S. And we can make a green difference. From the ground up.
This spring and summer Project Green Schools is growing a Giving Tree. We are looking for businesses, organizations, government leaders and individuals who share our vision to make a commitment now and help us grow our Giving Tree. We need your help.

Creating Healthy, Resilient Communities Through Green Infrastructure
We can find common ground to address climate change and improve community health and resilience by protecting our natural resources through green infrastructure (GI), sustainable development and better site design. This webinar will focus on a regional approach by the Resilient Taunton Watershed Network (RTWN) in the Taunton River watershed in SE Massachusetts that brought together numerous partners and communities to learn how to effectively use GI and LID techniques to manage stormwater, reduce flooding, and minimize drought impacts. The presenters will address their work in the Taunton watershed which included: using GIS at a regional level to identify priority areas for GI siting, and a localized web-based tool to promote sustainable development through smart bylaws and regulations.
