Here is an event scheduled for next week that may be a forum for Green education in our schools every where. Go if you can and spread the word. Thanks.
Here is some back ground on the Change is Simple organization.
Change is Simple, Inc. was founded by Lauren and Patrick Belmonte with a shared passion for environmental action and education. Lauren, an environmental scientist, often shared stories of her projects, excursions and research with students in her brother-in-law's 4th grade classroom, soon realizing she wanted to do more. Patrick, with experience designing children's education programs, helped design and implement the first program to an energetic group of seventy 4th graders. From that moment, Lauren and Patrick knew they had to continue their work in the development of environmental education programs.
Teaching open-minded elementary students that small changes in their habits can make huge improvements to the environment is extremely powerful. Change is Simple was founded on the values that Lauren and Patrick live by: use resources in a way that does not undermine future generations from using those same resources; live simply; be active in your community; let your passion drive you; and empower others.
Since 2011, Change is Simple has educated over 5,500 students in 15 communities, been recognized by local foundations and by Governor Patrick, who participated in their program in 2012, calling it innovative with a profoundly important message.

Hours -We typically are in and out of the office all day and evening. Best to call ahead to arrange a meeting. The positive side is that we are happy to meet you at odd hours- 9-5 means nothing to us.
