Delegate Hecht Attends Green Schools Conference

October 30, 2009 by Hecht Yes News

Delegate Sue Hecht attended a conference last week hosted by the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC. The goal of the conference was to show what school districts across the country can do to improve the indoor environmental quality of America’s schools while making them more energy, water, and resource efficient.

A major proponent of green energy and the environment in the Maryland House of Delegates, Delegate Hecht praised the “Green Schools” concept as a way to create a healthy physical environment for students and teachers.

“Studies have shown that green schools cost less money to operate and use less energy and water,” she said. “These savings could provide much-needed funds that could be put back into the classroom.”
