Waste Campaign Deadline Extended
Attention Students and Adult Leads!
The 2020 Waste Campaign’s deadline has been extended to May 15 due to the Coronavirus.
We understand that school closures and event cancellations impact your original plans for the outreach portion of your project and your advisor is here to help you find creative ways to impact your community! As for judging: don’t worry! Of course, when we get to scoring, we will take into consideration the effect that the coronavirus has had on your project.

Join our Online Focus Group
We are working with a student group from the University of Southern California (USC) called LACI to host two online focus groups of Grades of Green’s students. The purpose of the focus group is to get feedback and find ways to improve Grades of Green’s programs. Each student attending will receive an Eco-Friendly goody as a thank you!
The focus groups will be online, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm PST on Saturday, April 4th. Please let us know if you know any other students who would like to participate.
3 Minute Online Survey
Please complete this online survey about your experience with Grades of Green. If you need help, a parent can fill out the survey on your behalf. The survey should take no more than 3 minutes.
Each team that submits surveys by March 31st will receive 3 bonus points for their Waste Campaign final score! Submissions after March 31st will still receive 1 bonus point.
