The program has four project areas (IPM, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Non-Toxic Products, and Indoor Air Quality), and each project area has three levels.  <br><br> The emphasis of the Green Flag School Program is to engage students in the holistic process of policy creation and implementation. When students understand the Who, What, Where, When, How and Why of an environmental impact (How does it affect me? How do I affect it? Why is it important? How can we improve our behavior? What impact can we have?), then they are much more concerned with making positive change, and really develop their creativity and activism. <br><br> For more information: <br>  <br> Robina Suwol, Executive Director <br>  <br> California Safe Schools www.calisafe.org  <br>  <br> California Mentor for Green Flag Program <br>  <br> 818-785-5515 <br><br>  <br><br> <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"SCHOOLIPM@YAHOO.COM","link":"WWW.CALISAFE.ORG","address":"TOLUCA LAKE, CALIFORNIA","phone":"818-785-5515","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"FIVE LA UNIFIED SCHOOLS RECEIVE NATIONAL HONOR FROM CALIFORNIA SAFE SCHOOLS (NON-PROFIT)","numcomment":2,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2004\/09\/116831.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":120323,"heading":"Green Flag Awards","article":"Green Flag Award is great honor for LA Unified and California Safe Schools.","author":"Lester Phan","parent_id":116831,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-12-17 05:07:26","modified":"2004-12-17 05:07:26","fileurl":""},{"id":120711,"heading":"California Safe Schools and Green Flags","article":"Encouraging our youth to support the Green Flag Program is a noble effort.
