Learn more about sustainability through the Sustainable Oregon Schools Initiative.

Topics include high-performance, sustainable facilities; resource use; transportation; food; purchasing; indoor environmental quality; community and culture issues; and sustainability education.

The initiative’s plans:

• Inform school personnel and supporting organizations about sustainability practices and opportunities through training, events, a Web site and an annual awards program. 
• Create a toolkit to help school districts and schools assess their sustainability, access resources and implement projects.
• Reach out to school districts to inform them about these resources.
