  • The majority of schools have chosen the following four of the eight educational pathways: 1) Consumption and waste, 2) School grounds, 3) Water conservation and 4) Energy conservation.
  • The majority of schools have established action teams and those that haven’t yet are starting them soon.
  • About half of the schools have done audits, have developed plans and are monitoring progress toward goals.
  • A third have already seen decreases in facility expenses – most from 5% to 20%
