Syracuse, NY - Five Syracuse city schools recently signed onto the Go Green Initiative (GGI)
* Seymour Magnet School - Karen Hall 436-8938
* Solace Elementary - Carolyn Messina-Yawchzy 435-4877
* HW Smith Elementary- Sharon Birnkrant 435-4490
* Lincoln Middle-Rob DiFlorio 435-4450
* Nottingham High-Debbie Mastropolo 435-4380
and joined Ed Smith Elementary school, the first school in the city to sign onto this national project last August.
They committed to:
* Adopt national paper conservation standards
Jennifer Spoor, hired by Naef Recycling to coordinate the GGI efforts in the city said,
"I am inspired by the excitement I have encountered upon talking with people about the Go Green Initiatiave in Syracuse. There are so many environmental leaders throughout the schools and in the city. These leaders see the importance of the Go Green Initiative as a simple and logical tool for unifying and magnifying the environmental efforts in Syracuse and throughout New York State.
These people are setting a phenomenal example for the children who look up to them - teaching local communities the value of environmental conservation and stewardship. And we've only just begun!"
Ed Smith Elementary school was the first school in the county to sign onto the national project, GGI, a grassroots environmental program that unites parents, teachers and students to create a culture of conservation in schools. Since Aug. - Jan. 2006 they have recycled:
* 4.2 tons of paper
* 35 pounds of plastics
* 1,637pounds of cardboard
To keep abreast on what is happening in Syracuse schools with the Go Green Initiative visit the Naef Recycling web site http://www.naefrecycling.com where reports from local schools involved with this project are posted.
The Go Green Initiative is being promoted in NY State through the efforts of the NY State Association of Reduction, Reuse and Recycling. (NYSARRR) For recycling information for school administrators, teachers and students visit the NYSARRR web site at http://www.nysar3.org
The Go Green Initiative involves students at every level and takes a comprehensive approach to help schools evaluate every aspect of their environmental impact. It provides schools simple checklists and tools to examine everything from recycling to unsafe pesticides used on playgrounds. For more information visit http://www.gogreeninitiative.org
