As we learned in the recent post How to Raise an Organic Baby, if you teach kids good eco-habits from a young age, they’ll be able to build on best practices that last a lifetime. So it is with Project Green Dorm, from the eco awareness group, Teens Turning Green.
The goal of the initiative is to inspire high school and college students to green their living spaces, lifestyles and school supplies. (For more on green school supplies, check out Heather’s post).
Lifestyle is the key word here. These lifestyle choices reflect an eco mindset, and prove that you can make a difference with the power of your pocketbook—a very Eco to the People sentiment, if we do say so ourselves.
The Teens Turning Green Project Green Dorm Toolkit is a checklist of green versions of essential items for students. Pre-assembled Project Green Dorm care packages are also available. Additionally, Teens Turning Green is hosting back to school events across the country. Go to the Teens Turning Green website for more information, and while you’re there check out their lookbook.—Michelle Zaffino
