The 8th grade returned to Riverside Park earlier this week for spring clean up and planting.  Students, house advisors and parent volunteers cut back shrubs from drainage gutters around the tennis courts at 119th Street.  They also returned to the area of the park in which they worked in the fall, where they planted, weeded and mulched. Everyone returned to Dalton tired and dirty, but pleased to have contributed to making our community better.

Although our school color is blue, Dalton is “going green” with a number of trailblazing initiatives and hopes to inspire other schools to follow in its carbon-reducing footprint.

With the purchase of more than 2.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually -- which is enough green power to meet 100 percent of the school’s purchased electricity use -- Dalton’s purchase ranks as the nation’s largest among private K-12 educational institutions in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Power Partnership.

The exciting news is that Dalton is now offsetting of 100% of its energy use through the purchase of renewable energy certificates, known as RECs, from Good Energy, a national supplier of green power products. Dalton’s certificates are for energy-generated wind.

The EPA estimates that Dalton’s purchase will avoid the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions of more than 350 passenger vehicles each year; this is the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power nearly 260 average American homes annually.

Purchasing green power allows the School to tie the important issue of sustainability to its educational mission, while also sending a message to others that supporting clean sources of electricity is an important choice in reducing their impact on the environment.  Read More
