Summary:
The 2006 WAEE Winter Workshop focused on "Making our Schools Green and Healthy." Helping our schools to become a model of what it means to be green and healthy provides us with an opportunity to influence not just students and school employees, but the entire local community on how to tread lightly on the earth and reduce our ecological footprint.

Empowering teachers with the tools they need to incorporate education for sustainability into their classrooms. Improving schools both inside the classroom and out through sustainable technologies and practices which provide students immersion in hands-on learning experiences. Equipping schools with the knowledge necessary to become part of the Wisconsin Green and Healthy Schools Program. Inspiring communities to go beyond just books and classrooms, transforming entire schools into green and healthy spaces where sustainable learning can commence.
