About
Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin empowers, supports and recognizes schools for nurturing healthy kids and sustainable communities. Public and private PK*-12 schools work to reduce environmental impacts and costs, improve health and wellness, and increase environmental and sustainability literacy and report achievements using a web-based reporting tool.
