What is Green Education?
 Green Education is the process of educating students in environmental sustainability. Teachers can educate their students in green education by connecting different class subjects with broader human concerns including environmental and economic problems. Part of the green education movement includes cutting back on paper copies and other wasteful practices. Through the use of computers and new technologies, we can become nearly paperless rather easily. Also, many new technology gadgets are more energy efficient than those in year's past.  Overall, green education can simply be explained as educating youth in sustainability and energy conservation and incorporating those practices in the classroom. Many organizations today have been created in order to promote green education. You can find different classroom ideas for becoming more sustainable and also many materials for educating students in green education from these various organizations. Some organizations include Green Education Foundation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Green Building Council.
