Dolly is so excited to meet with the environmental detectives at Craig Elementary School tomorrow morning. It will be a dynamic encounter where these third grade students will assist Dolly in finding ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost.
Dolly knows that her detectives from Brookwood Elementary , St. John Neumann and Cook Elementary are doing their part to make sure "Green" decisions do make a difference.
Dolly would like for the detectives out there to blog about what you are doing to inspire others to be good stewards of our planet.
Dolly loves her Detectives!

Whole Foods event: Thank you for your support!
Greening Youth Foundation's Whole Foods 5% Day was a rousing success!
The day was fun-filled with environmental activities that included making edible, luscious layered landfills, creating wind mills and a brief lunch and learn about our organization. The children and parents seemed to enjoy the activities.
The GYF team would like to extend a warm thank-you to the entire Whole Foods team. All of the staff were very helpful. As the Whole Foods team exhibited their eco-friendly products and organic recipes throughout the store, they always encouraged the shoppers and informed that 5% of the proceeds would benefit the Greening Youth Foundation. The Marketing Team Leaders went above and beyond the protocol to make the event a success!
Our illustrious board member, Denene Millner Chiles, came out and conducted a couple of the activities with the children AND led the lunch and learn. We would also like to thank our Spelman College volunteer who came out to help with the activities.
The Greening Youth Foundation would not be able to do the work that we do in elementary schools throughout the metro-Atlanta community without your support.
Thank You!!
