February 1, Ecotech Institute will do its part to help get
kids excited about sustainability. As a precursor to
National Green Week, which kicks off February 4, students
from Elizabeth Middle School will tour Ecotech’s
LEED-certified campus, watch demos in cutting-edge labs and
learn about the future of clean jobs.

The Green Education Foundation (GEF) and Sprint kick off
the fifth annual National Green Week program next week and
the campaign continues into April. Green Week is designed
to empower school administrators and teachers to actively
engage their students on the importance of environmental
protection and sustainability through GEF’s free lesson
plans, activities, audits, contests and more. Schools can
choose when they celebrate National Green Week through the
end of April.

“National Green Week is about empowering students to learn
more about sustainable activities and how they can
personally make a difference on the planet. We are thrilled
to play a role, inviting young minds to come explore the
vast opportunities in sustainability careers,” said Michael
Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute. “It’s a privilege
that our wind, solar and electrical labs spark curiosity
that can last a lifetime.”

Ecotech frequently hosts groups from K-12 schools and a
variety of industries. If you are a school counselor, HR
executive, sustainability specialist or just interested in
learning more and would like a special tour, please contact
Zhanna Stavina at 877-326-5576.
