Teens Turning Green

Taking care of our planet is a responsibility and a privilege we share. Being green isn’t just about remembering  buying organic, shopping vintage or recycling – it’s about a whole eco mindset, a lifestyle, choices that impact your life and our earth.  Teens Turning Green is launching Project Green Dorm as our fall initiative to help launch your new green world.  

• PGD Take Action Toolkit  is a thoughtful approach to an age old tradition – back to school. The goal is to inspire high school and college students to green their dorms or living space, school supplies, clothing, and lifestyle. To encourage the importance of an eco-conscious lifestyle in the deepest shade of green.

• Check out our College Care Packages that are wonderful kits full of incredible products for not just your teen, but everyone in your family. Available for purchase on our website while supplies last.

• Visit our Project Green Dorm Shop at the Village at Corte Madera, in Corte Madera, California, a  bricks and mortar replica of the Toolki. Open from July 30-September 15. Hours M-F 2-6pm, 12-5pm Sat and Sun.
• The Green Spa event at the Shop on August 23 ,  from 2-5pm to enjoy a day of green beauty. Mini treatments, makeovers, a tea facials from Chado-En Tea Docents. Organic Refreshments served.

The “Dorm” is an icon for our living spaces filled with … well everything. The Toolkit is the “checklist” suggesting the green version of everything you need in your living space, lifestyle and for back to school.   Whether it’s a buying recycled binders, organic cotton sheets, or certified organic deodorant … chances are if you make one change, you’ll make two and before you know it you will be part of this global "greenswell”.

The choices we make individually and collectively ARE making a HUGE difference. Just look at the stores you shop in every day: many are incorporating green products, business practices, initiatives because of the purchases YOU make as an informed consumer. There ARE greener alternatives for everything on your checklist.

Our hope is that this unique opportunity will be a catalyst to greening back to school routines across the country.  Thoughtfully choosing products is our way of ensuring the health and well being of generations to come.
We welcome your support.
