| Welcome to the MI Green Schools Blog!Michigan Green Schools (MGS) was established as a statewide program by Michigan’s Public Act 146 of 2006 and is managed by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). MGS recognizes and celebrates the environmental efforts of PreK–12, public and private schools across the state. By encouraging environmental stewardship and education, MGS helps protect Michigan’s air, land, water, and ecosystems. Schools earn Green, Emerald, or Evergreen status by documenting 10 or more approved activities each school year. This blog serves as a hub for educators and students looking for ideas, inspiration, and opportunities to complete activities that count toward their annual MGS certification. From classroom projects to community events, you'll find resources here to help your school meet and exceed your environmental goals. If you have an opportunity or resource to share, email the statewide coordinator Samantha Lichtenwald at EGLE-MI-Green-Schools@Michigan.gov.

Together, we can help more Michigan schools go green and grow a culture of sustainability for the next generation! |
