What is Project Green Prom?Project Green Prom, sponsored by Whole Foods Market, is a challenge to engage high school students across the country to “green” their high school proms (and their own prom preparation.) By making thoughtful decisions and informed purchases for prom season, we strive to engage teens in an all-encompassing eco-lifestyle. Teens Turning Green chose to focus on Prom as there are many changes that can be easily made to approach this traditional right of passage from a more sustainable perspective. Beginning with greener alternatives in hair, make up, skin and body care products and extending to include prom attire and accessories, décor,transportation, flowers …. our goal is to to inspire teens across the country to action that will sustain our health and that of our planet.
