Schools Stories
School / District Sustainability Overview
We understand that your school or district, like others, is just at the early stages of its sustainability journey. Because it is a journey there are no doubt, many things to do yet on the way. Please help inspire others to get started. We invite you to share your story with us, and we’ll summarize it on the SOSI website so we can all learn together. You can use the "School / District Template" as a guideline.
