Have you heard yet about the upcoming Green Vision/Green Schools Conference hosted by the City of San Jose? The conference will be held Saturday, April 4, 2009, from 8AM to 5PM at the San José Fairmont Hotel, 170 South Market Street, San José. Teachers, parents, principals, students, counselors, and other community members from throughout the South Bay Area are invited to attend. School district superintendents, administrators, and school board members are especially encouraged to participate. The conference links the City’s Green Vision with the greening of San José’s schools and will showcase ways that schools and school districts can save money while protecting natural resources and fostering the next generation of environmental stewards. Sounds a lot like BioSITE, doesn't it? We will actually be there as part of a panel presentation!
Here are some of the themes the conference will be addressing...
· Gold from Green: Green School Facilities Saving Energy, Water, Waste and School Budgets – for school district superintendents, administrators, school board members
· Green Schools 101: Basic How tos for Beginners (recycling, composting, gardens, funding)
· Green Schools Beyond the Basics: Next Steps for Intermediate Green Schoolers
· Connecting Children with Nature: Environmental Education / Local Nature Field Trips
Best of all, participation fees have been drastically reduced for early registrants. Find out more at http://www.sjrecycles.org/gogreen/GoGreenSchoolConference.asp and spread the word if you know anyone else who might be interested!
