New PLT GreenSchools! Webinar Series

PLT marks the beginning of 2012 with a new series of free webinars highlighting PLT's GreenSchools! Investigations. The first webinar, Transforming Schools with PLT GreenSchools! Energy Investigations, took place on February 1 and included presentations by:

• Caterina Hatcher, ENERGY STAR National Manager for the Public Sector at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC. She discussed how teachers and students can use ENERGY STAR tools to help schools improve energy efficiency.
• Richard Klein, a Master Teacher at The Monarch School in Houston, and one of his students Brett Fritsche discussed how they have used the PLT GreenSchools!  School Site Investigation on two very different schoolyards, and the Energy Investigation to save their school money.

Three more PLT GreenSchools! webinars will be held in March, April and May. Anyone—teachers, students, individuals or groups—can participate in this FREE webinar series, made possible in part by generous funding from the U.S. Forest Service.
