Five N.Y. schools join national Go Green Initiative
 
April 7 -- Five Syracuse, N.Y., schools have joined a national effort to take a comprehensive approach to reducing their environmental footprint.

The schools -- Seymour Magnet School, Solace Elementary, H.W. Smith Elementary, Lincoln Middle and Nottingham High -- have joined the Go Green Initiative, which adopts recycling education into their curriculum.

The grass-roots initiative brings together parents, teachers and students to create a culture of conservation in schools. It gives schools checklists to look at everything from recycling to pesticides used on playgrounds.
