Hello, I am Jayne Black the Founder of Green Schools Rock! I am a former pre-k teacher who is personally aware how important healthy schools are to staff and students health, learning and our mother earth. Schools are the number one users of energy and play a big role in reducing climate change. I have worked with over 20 schools and 2000 youth providing environmental education, teacher support and working with Superintendants to make their schools healthier and sustainable. I wrote an indoor air quality bill for schools in Wisconsin and initiated a clean air initative serving on my cities sustainability commission wher I sphereheaded a no-idling campaign for schools and an air monitoring program that provides schools with CO monitors which are not required for schools, but are critical that our students are protected from this smellless killer, served as a mentor for a school-wide composting program that won the Illinois Green Alliance Engagement Award, mentored a high school to create an outdoor classroom, turned my school green through Green & Healthy Schools WI, trained a middle school how to create the EPA approved air purifier that they actually used after a class fire, and have served as a hands on mentor for many other sustainable projects!
