The Green Schools Climate Commitment  A commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of the school  School is able to choose level of commitment they can meet  Requires small tasks that produce big reductions in footprint  Easily incorporated because some tasks have already been accomplished  Needs full participation of school, would be a good community project  A commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of the school  School is able to choose level of commitment they can meet  Requires small tasks that produce big reductions in footprint  Easily incorporated because some tasks have already been accomplished  Needs full participation of school, would be a good community project

The Calhoun School  Pledged to fulfill The Green Schools Climate Commitment Calhoun’s Green Roof  Provides environmental benefits in the form of energy savings in heating and cooling insulation, reduced water run-off, and carbon emission reduction  Plans are being made to install solar panels, both for educational and energy saving purposes Calhoun is also taking many other environmentally friendly actions involving recycling, growing their own food, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, and composting.  Pledged to fulfill The Green Schools Climate Commitment Calhoun’s Green Roof  Provides environmental benefits in the form of energy savings in heating and cooling insulation, reduced water run-off, and carbon emission reduction  Plans are being made to install solar panels, both for educational and energy saving purposes Calhoun is also taking many other environmentally friendly actions involving recycling, growing their own food, using compact fluorescent light bulbs, and composting.
