Green Schools Program Promoting Recycling and Sustainability

The Philadelphia Green Schools Program will host a panel discussion focused on recycling and sustainability on May 10, 2025, in Skelton, Illinois. The event will feature Cherelle Parker and Keisha McCarty-Skelton, who will share their insights on effective leadership in environmental education. Participants will explore innovative strategies to integrate sustainability into school curriculums. The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) will provide valuable resources and expertise during the discussion. This initiative encourages educators and students to adopt practical recycling measures, aiming to foster a culture of sustainability in schools.

Local schools are invited to submit their projects to participate actively in this program. Engaging the community in these efforts is crucial for long-term environmental impact. By promoting recycling and sustainability, the Green Schools Program seeks to inspire future generations to prioritize environmental stewardship.
