SOLUTIONS INSPIRED BY 5 R's

REFUSE, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, REGENERATE.

We believe these 5 R's have the power to regenerate our planet's health, when partnered with education, youth & family participation, responsible lifestyles and commerce leadership, transparency and action. We invite you, as an educator mentor, to continue to explore what these 5 R's can do now and what we all must come together to do, making them truly effective. *RECYCLING is not as simple or effective as it once was, making REFUSE, REDUCE, & REUSE solutions of primary focus for our world to truly have the opportunity to REGENERATE.

FOR 6 GLOBAL CHALLENGES

CLIMATE, FOOD, WATER, POLLUTION, WILDLIFE & LAND ...

...because we believe every child deserves to inherit a planet better than the one their parents were handed... we have serious work to do to regenerate what the last 50 years has taken from this opportunity FOR OUR CHILDREN.

The UN recently announced that nearly 1 million animal and plant species are near extinction, warming is wiping out coral reefs and melting glacier ice at an unprecedented rate, plastic pollution is impacting the health of ocean ecosystems & global social justice and chemical agriculture is destroying topsoil 10x faster than it can be replenished, offering only 60 years of sustainability for the FOOD WE NEED... ACTION must be taken NOW. for PEOPLE. for PLANET. for THEM.

AND AN EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORK

The Green Schools Alliance mission is to connect and empower schools worldwide to lead the transformation to a sustainable future. They are an alliance working together to nurture and fortify sustainable school communities. Julian P. Bull, Headmaster of Campbell Hall School in California describes his dedication to the alliance:

"Going green means so many things to different people, and despite our genuine commitment to sustainability, we were having difficulty focusing our efforts. Working with the Alliance has allowed us to find a community of like-minded schools and set challenging, but reasonable, goals."

AP highly recommends the tools and resources made available through a link that connects you to the Green Schools Alliance Landing page. Their impactful video is well worth your view. We also highly suggest the other Programs, Services, Resources and Community links.
