What we do
Students for A Greener World (SGW) became the Green Decade's first student committee in 2007, with volunteers from middle schools and high schools. We help the Green Decade reach out to kids of all ages and to help them learn and practice environmentally friendly actions at home, school, wherever -- and have fun doing it. We are kids teaching kids about the environment!
