Taking care of our planet is a responsibility and a privilege that we share. Being green isn’t just about buying organic, reducing your carbon footprint or recycling – it’s about a whole eco mindset, a lifestyle, choices that impact your life and our earth. Teens Turning Green is launching Project Green Dorm to help you green your world.

The Project Green Dorm Toolkit (

teensturninggreen.org) is a thoughtful approach to an age old tradition – heading back to school. The goal is to inspire high school and college students to green their living spaces, lifestyles and school supplies and to encourage an all encompassing eco lifestyle.

The “Dorm” is an icon for our living spaces filled with - well everything. The Toolkit is the “checklist” suggesting the green version of each item that you need. Whether it’s a buying recycled binders, organic cotton sheets, or certified organic deodorant … chances are if you make one change, you’ll make two and before you know it , YOU will be a part of this global "greenswell”.

The choices we make individually and collectively ARE making a HUGE difference. Just look at the stores you shop in every day: many are incorporating eco products, sustainable business practices, and green initiatives because of the purchases YOU make as an informed consumer. There ARE greener alternatives for EVERYTHING on your checklist. Take a look at our Toolkit for some fabulous wisdom.
