My Nonprofit Reviews

Grades of Green comprises all aspects of stewardship. They practice what they preach by working
daily in their lives to protect the natural resources of our planet. They inspire others to implement programs and practices to live sustainably. I am continually impressed with their dedication and service toward our environment.

Grades of Green has made notable contributions to protecting California’s natural resources by inspiring thousands of students each year to live sustainably and pack trash free lunches. I have had the pleasure to work with Grades of Green at two different elementary schools in Claremont, California. At both schools, with the inspiration, support, and leadership of Grades of Green, sustainable trash free lunch practices were put in place to save tons of trash from heading to landfills. At my current school, last year during the Trash Free Lunch Challenge, our students reduced our trash production for 500 students at lunch time from 18 full trash bags to just TWO bags. At a local level, this was impressive for our school. In a larger context, with numerous schools changing lunchtime practices, Grades of Green has done a truly remarkable job at protecting and enhancing our environment. The partnerships that Grades of Green makes between public organizations and private entities are astounding. The connections made between private organizations, individual donors, and public schools are lasting and meaningful as we have all rallied behind Grades of Green and their worthy cause.

As an educator who values organizations that have a positive impact on our environment, I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Grades of Green!
