FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center & The School District of Palm Beach County Presented, The 5th Annual Learn Green: Florida’s Green Schools Conference on November 11, 2013 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Green Schools movement in Florida is alive, well and growing! The annual Learn Green Conference is a great way for Florida students, teachers, administrators, facility professionals, parents and community members, to discover unique and innovate ways to make schools greener; keynote speaker at the event was Stephen Ritz, the man behind the Green Bronx Machine.

The day was filled with music from the jazz band of Dreyfoos School of the Arts, a healthy lunch, and great, informative presentations!

Presentation topics included, Integrated Pest Management for Facilities, Recycling Contests, Gardening the Ergonomic Way, LEED for Existing Schools: Green Schools in Action, along with SparkleTeam’s presentation on Green Solutions for Floor Drains.

During SparkleTeam’s presentation, facility managers and staff alike were impressed with the Green Drain’s ability to solve common maintenance problems associated with floor drains, in one simple step.

The Green Drain is an eco-friendly solution for floor drains and eliminates the need to frequently pour chemicals down the drain or hire professional plumbing services.
