Why They Do It
Solving the climate crisis, reducing our demands on natural resources, and reducing the amount of waste we generate is the number one issue facing humanity today. As the population of the world increases, demand for energy and natural resources will increase substantially. The more people and organizations can learn about how to reduce their environmental impact, the more likely we are to succeed in improving our global environmental.

The Climate Project consists of more than 3,000 diverse and dedicated volunteers worldwide, all personally trained by former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Laureat Al Gore to educate the public about climate change. TCP presenters have reached a combined 4 million people worldwide. Our hope is that by raising the awareness of our fellow citizens about this crisis and informing them about potential solutions, all of us, together, can preserve the climate balance on which humanity and our planet depend.
The Green Schools Alliance (GSA) is an network of K-12 public, private and independent schools uniting to take action on climate change and the environment.
Driven by the concept that schools can change the world, the mission of the GSA is to galvanize schools’ individual acts of green into collective action to shape our shared future through education, leadership and the exchange of sustainable solutions. A non-profit organization “created by schools for schools,” the GSA is working with and through schools worldwide to set and meet greening goals, raise environmental awareness, and empower students, as well as faculty and staff. In just 18 months, by word of mouth, the GSA network has grown to nearly 2,000 public and private schools in 36 states and 10 countries--reaching 2 million students.
