TeachingGreen Programs
We currently offer two educational programs: one for adults and one for grades 10 - 12. A program for grades K - 5 is coming soon.
The Green Life: Presentations for Adults
Our Green Life program for adults helps concerned individuals make smart consumer choices and adopt day-to-day behaviors that significantly reduce 
one's ecological footprint.
The program covers the topics of Transportation, Food, Home & Garden, Solid Waste and Household Toxics & Hazardous Waste in a series of six presentations.
If you represent a group of folks - a business, church group, fraternity, etc. - interested in learning more about living sustainably, we're happy to help. Whether you're looking for a one-time speaker, want to hear all six presentations, or anything in between, give us a call, and we'll get it on the calendar.

Growing Up Green: Presentations for Kids & Teens
When it comes to protecting the environment, no one has more to lose than those who will inherit the planet that we leave behind: our children. We believe that children understand this and want a healthy environment for themselves and the wildlife that they love.
The Growing Up Green program offers teachers two options. A speaker from TeachingGreen can be booked to visit the school to teach the lessons directly to students, or for schools that run a docent program, TeachingGreen will train parent 
volunteers to teach the lessons themselves.
The Early Years: Grades K - 5
Reduce, reuse, recycle: what's it all about? TeachingGreen's series of three lessons on this cardinal rule of sustainability teaches kids that the best way to protect the environment - to reduce air and water pollution, protect water resources and natural habitats and help prevent climate change - is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Kids are empowered to become stewards of the environment not just on tree-planting or beach clean-up days, but every day, for the rest of their lives.
The Middle Years: Grades 6 - 9
Coming soon...please check back here for updates.
The High School Years: Grades 10 - 12 
As future consumers, voters, politicians, teachers and business owners, today’s teens have the power to create tomorrow’s sustainable society. Our Growing Up Green presentations for teens cover the what, why and how of green living in the areas of Transportation, Food, Home & Garden, Solid Waste and Household Toxics & Hazardous Waste. Teens learn the value of a healthy environment, and that they have the power to protect it through their consumer choices and everyday actions.
As budding consumers, teenagers represent the perfect audience for these presentations because they are just beginning to make consumer decisions on their own. The goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge now so that down the road, when it's time to buy a car or a home, the environmental 
impacts of these major purchases will be considered. In the meantime, students will be encouraged to reduce the impacts of their day-to-day activities and purchases, with the overall goal being that they will adopt a more sustainable lifestyle that will be passed on to their children and grandchildren.
