Safe Green Schools.

Let’s make things better for our children and generations to come.

Join Our Campaign to make Columbus City Schools carbon neutral.

We’re encouraging our school board to take advantage of this historic moment when the Federal Government has billions of dollars up for grabs for climate friendly school renovations. We can’t leave money on the table that will save our district money, help our kids breathe easier, and slow the impacts of climate change. Together, we’re planning for our city’s future.

Imagine Columbus schools that run exclusively on green energy. Imagine classrooms that are a comfortable temperature year round with clean filtered air where teachers can teach and kids can learn. Imagine full electrification of all district buildings with no fossil fuels. This is the clean energy future. And it’s within our grasp. We can have school facilities that help ensure our air is clean and our city is healthy. We can have comfortable classrooms; facilities that make Columbus a greener place – the choice is ours to make for a clean energy future.

Columbus has always been a yes-we-can kind of place. We are leading the way with innovation from the tech boom to the arts scene to the country’s largest university. Today, the next big thing is the clean energy revolution. Clean energy to power our schools, save the district money, and free us from the outdated fuels that pollute our air and water and harm our climate. Columbus can continue to lead in the new energy future, with schools that will be cleaner and safer, all while building a better world for our families.
