The 12th annual Green Schools Conference kicks off in less than two months in the inspiring city of New Orleans on Feb. 27 and runs through March 1. Learn more about many of the exciting and unique happenings at this year’s event, and register today to join in the excitement.

Are you interested in how schools can reduce waste and educate students on the circular economy? Join the TRUE team and their host, the Sacred Heart Academy, for a preconference workshop on designing to remove waste from day-to-day operations.

Preconference Workshop: Measuring, Monitoring and Communication for Zero Waste in Schools

Monday, Feb. 27, 8:30–10:30 a.m. CT

2 GBCI CE credits provided.

Sign up for this additional off-site experience for learning and networking, which will happen the morning before the conference kicks off. Setting goals for waste reduction often comes easily, but collecting and calculating data related to a zero waste program can be the most important, yet also most challenging, task for teams.

This workshop for green leaders in K–12 and higher education will inspire teams to strengthen their training, reuse, recycling, composting and purchasing programs through TRUE certification for zero waste, with targeted data collection, analysis and reporting.

The 2023 Green Schools Conference is full of great opportunities to learn new skills, connect with peers, share challenges and successes, swap resources, and gather inspiration to continue the important work of greening Americas schools. You don’t want to miss this opportunity for reflection, reconnection and rejuvenation.
