Partners and sponsors include Aleris International, a global leader in aluminum recycling and production, along with chairman Steve Demetriou; TCP, producer of compact fluorescent light bulbs; the House of Blues Foundation; the Bubble Process; and Incite Creative. To date, the students have raised over $20,000 for the event. Proceeds from the event will be used to build the “Ultimate green classroom” at Beachwood High School. Wall and floor coverings, technology, HVAC, office furniture and supplies, and lighting will all be modified to create a national model for Green Classrooms, along with strategies for classroom teaching. Part of the students’ social responsibility plan will also include purchasing rainwater collection barrels and developing a worm-composting site.
