The Green
The Green is a monthly online environmental newspaper written by and for teens. The Green provides a place where youth can voice their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs about the environment and have them seen by other youth and adults in the Bay Area and across the nation.

What We’re Looking For
The Green welcomes all types of writing and artwork. Poetry, creative writing, editorials, book reviews, rants & raves, photos, drawings, comic strips, anything environmentally-related that you’d like to share. You don’t need to be an expert, you just need to be willing to share your knowledge and opinions.

Getting Started
You can get started by browsing through the current issue of The Green by using the links on this page. Then, if you feel ready, dive right in and start submitting your own work!!

The Green News Team
You can receive a small monetary reward at the end of the year by becoming part of The Green Team and agreeing to submit on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Or, if you would rather just submit something every once-in-a-while, we welcome that as well. Either way, click on the Contact Us link to get in contact with us.

For Teachers
Teachers, take a look at the For Teachers link for ideas on how to incorporate The Green into your lesson plans. Use The Green to energize a writing or photography assignment, encourage students to publish their work, expose students to other youth writings, and to incorporate technology into your curriculum.
