NBC’s TODAY Show Celebrate Earth Day on April 22

NYC students to build green living walls on Rockefeller Plaza as part of Center’s Green Apple Initiative

NBC’s TODAY Show is scheduled to celebrate Earth Day, Monday, April 22, by building six green living walls on Rockefeller Plaza with local students from Bronx public schools. The segment will highlight the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council and the Center's flagship event, the Green Apple Day of Service.

Rachel Gutter, the director of the Center for Green Schools at USGBC, along with Green Apple ambassador and Bronx educator Stephen Ritz and students from his dynamic community program, the Green Bronx Machine, will join TODAY Show hosts Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Natalie Morales, along with celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis and others, to build the walls and participate in Earth Day activities throughout the morning.

On Thursday, March 28, the North Texas Chapter of the US Green Building Council announced the winners of their 2013 Green Ribbon Awards. The Green Ribbon Awards recognize the outstanding efforts to develop and promote extraordinary sustainable programs and creative sustainable solutions for this region by North Texas Chapter members, their customers and clients, and area communities.

Each of the nominees in the project and business categories submitted applications highlighting the practices and project elements that set each project apart. Leaders from adjacent USGBC Chapters in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma evaluated the application based on criteria outlined by awards committee. The Chapter’s staff, in conjunction with the Board of Directors and other Chapter leaders, nominated and selected recipients for each of the individual awards.
