Team summary by ms.lapierre
Team Green Rating is comprised of three students who are dedicated to social justice and environmental change. Madeleine Ducharme, Rodrigo Gonzalo, and Sydney Sanghara make up team Green Rating. In the initial brainstorming sessions, the team decided that a policy change would be the best way to use their skills in developing a solution for the catastrophic problem of single use plastics.
Meeting both at school and outside of school hours, this passionate group has developed a policy that when implemented has the potential to have a positive impact globally.
The policy that was developed is called Green Rating. The Green Rating certification and logo is a way for businesses to promote their environmentally friendly practices and gives consumers the choice to patronize establishments whose business and supply chain practices have been vetted and meet the strict requirements of Green Rating.
Studies have shown that when given the option, people will make the most eco conscious choice possible and Green Rating makes this easy.
