The mission of the Green Council is threefold.  First, make a positive, measurable difference in
our environmental practices and their related economic advantages to the Lower Merion
School District community and township at large.  Second, develop collaborative relationships
with other groups and individuals to expedite the process of environmental change.  Third,
strive to integrate environmental education programs throughout the K-12 curricula.

These will be achieved through the formulation, adoption, and implementation of an environmentally
sustainable living policy. By having all schools in the district recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and
aluminum, and by employing other sound waste management, and energy/water conservation practices,
we will contribute to the health and vitality of the district and the township now and in the future.
Through collaboration, the contributions can spread more quickly throughout all areas of society.  By
offering environmental education,programs at each grade level, students will graduate being better
prepared to make responsible environmental decisions that promote sustainable living lifestyles.
