PGCPS Climate Change Action Plan
Approved by the PGCPS Board of Education in April 2022, the PGCPS Climate action plan lays out recommendations for us to reduce our carbon footprint that will lead to healthier buildings and transportation, cleaner air, healthier food, less waste, and operational cost savings to help PGCPS focus its limited resources more equitably and contribute to both better health outcomes and a safer future for our children.
