ClassroomActivities

The greening of corporate America seems simple until those hard environmental decisions affect us financially or our lifestyle. Below are some activities and a case study designed to make students think a little deeper about what it means for a company to be "green." Theses exercises help students see how socially responsible companies use these "green" practices in their pursuit of excellence.

The activities are designed for high school students in an economics class. There is also an Extension Activity that a student might want to do with his or her family.
