Schools
The following are SLR partners participating in our k-12 and college classroom educational programs. Every Thursday and Friday on tour, SLR integrates creative programming around sustainable living strategies into the school systems.
Please inquire if you are interested in bringing these programs to your schools.
Green Ambassadors
Green Ambassadors is an environmental education program that empowers youth to be agents of change in their communities and world. Through service learning, community partnerships, and cross-cultural and global exchange, the program fosters personal growth and leadership skills to help youth tackle the most critical environmental issues facing our planet.
Betty BioDiesel
Hi my name is Lindsay Hassett, aka Betty Biodiesel. This campaign was born out of my quest to create cleaner air for kids after learning about how badly polluting the inside of our school buses were. This project is dedicated to improving air quality inside school buses. It promotes the initial blending of 20% Biodiesel into diesel school buses and eventually running buses on 100% Biodiesel. We promote the use of waste cooking oil from restaurants processed into Biodiesel to use in school buses. We coordinate the communication, cooperation and support of Renderers, Biodiesel producers, Petroleum Distributors, School bus fleets, School districts and our youth to ensure a successful transition to Biodiesel. We also provide engaging edutainment through puppet shows and workshops for all ages to inform audiences about the benefits of using Biodiesel in school buses.
