INITIATIVE OVERVIEW

Going green refers to all aspects of environmentally-friendly products from fashion to buildings to the movement as a whole.

The Go Green Campaign is helping to educate students, teachers and parents to be more environmentally conscious. As more schools go green, more students are being given the opportunity to learn firsthand about their impact on the world.

Green Homes are More Durable

When you create an eco-friendly home, you are creating a more durable home. Recycled products have the tendency to last over five times longer than traditional materials. This also means that you will save more money when it comes to maintaining your home.

Improves Air Quality

Using all-natural products makes you a healthier person. When you are healthy, you are also naturally more productive in the workplace.

Ensures Better Future for Your Kid

If you want to create a better environment for your child, it is high time you go green. By choosing to follow the sustainable route, you are creating a cleaner and brighter future for your children and generations after.
