THE GREEN TEAM Library

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection provides a GREEN TEAM library of videos, books, curriculum, recycling activity kits, and general solid waste resources for loan to Massachusetts educators. Our goal is to support and promote school recycling education and programs by making these materials available to teachers. 

Descriptions of available materials are provided in the GREEN TEAM Library Catalog along with borrowing instructions.
