Green Newton’s Schools Connections Group will meet on Thursday, November 14 from 3:45-5pm in the third-floor arc area of the Newton Free Library (330 Homer St., Newton).

The group provides a forum for parents, students, and educators to promote sustainability in Newton’s schools. All are welcome as we share experiences and ideas. If your school does not have a Green Team, we can help to establish one. Representatives of the group discuss how to improve food quality and sustainability in school cafeterias. We are also advocating for more in-depth climate science to be taught in our schools, as well as setting up textile recycling collection containers outside of each school building.
