Students for A Greener World (SGW) became the Green Decade’s first student committee in 2007, with volunteers from the middle schools and high schools.

What do we do?
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 -- and have fun doing it!
