Worcester Academy Preps for Green Cup Challenge 2008
January 9, 2008
32 secondary schools across the east coast are following the precedent set by American College and University University Presidents Climate Commitment and the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement by agreeing to compete to decrease their electricity consumption, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and instill sustainability practices in campus culture. The Green Cup Challenge (GCC) began two years ago between 3 schools (Exeter, Lawrenceville, and Northfield Mount Hermon) and has exploded quickly. W.A., out to win the Cup, set an ambitious goal of a 20% reduction and is in the process of setting up workshops, lectures, film series, and dorm and grade-level competitions to meet this goal and move the school forward with a more sustainability culture. Stay tuned for more information about the GCC.
