Going Green 
Started in 2008, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District's Sustainability and Energy Conservation Program has been actively saving General Fund dollars and CO2 emissions. Together we have saved over $400,000 each of the last two years in electricity and gas alone. The program is continually expanding - recycling, water, purchasing, green cleaning techniques, and more to come. Below are some of the articles and documents that have been created and utilized as part of this program:
