GreenFutures (
www.philasd.org/greenfutures) is a five-year sustainability plan that was created by District staff and stakeholders with a common goal: to make public schools great and green. This plan is an offshoot of Action Plan 3.0 and it aims to make every school a green school that will better serve our students and communities. GreenFutures is made up of five sections: Education for Sustainability (EfS) [

As the District strives to support learning for sustainability for all segments of the school community, including students, teachers, staff, administration, families and the community, it is just as important to encourage these groups to take action that furthers sustainability in ways that are relevant and appropriate to their roles.
