The Go Green Initiative Greens Schools

Founded in Pleasanton, CA in 2002 by former Naval Officer Jill Buck, the Go Green Initiative brings students, teachers, and parents together to reduce waste and pollution in schools. Students engage in practical activities such as recycling, composting and reducing waste.


The program has been endorsed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, endorsed by such agencies as
the National School Boards Association, National Recycling Coalition and numerous State
PTAs, and more. The GGI website helps schools find quality worms, share best practices (using towels instead of tissues to wipe sheet protectors), and communicate their GGI involvement to parents and PTAs.
