About The Green Team

The Green Team is an interactive educational program for K-12 schools in Massachusetts that empowers students and teachers to help the environment through waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, energy conservation and pollution prevention.

It is an environmental program for Massachusetts students, grades kindergarten through twelve, sponsored by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs and Department of Environmental Protection.

Registered participants receive one on one assistance, educational tools, such as a classroom poster, lesson plans, recycling tips and suggested activities. Each class that takes The Green Team Pledge receives a Certificate of Recognition and is eligible to win great prizes. Classes that complete more activities advance to the next level and are eligible to win more valuable rewards.
