San José Go Green staff connect K-12 schools in San José with free recycling supplies and other green resources, encouraging them to Go Green at whatever level they choose: whether it may be starting a recycling or composting program, launching environmental education, buying green, or evaluating school environmental practices that impact student health. Please browse this website for inspiration and information.
