WEST MIAMI MIDDLE SCHOOL SELECTED AS FINALIST FOR ‘USA GREEN SCHOOL MAKEOVER’ COMPETITION West Miami Middle is one of ten schools located in cities across the country that were selected today as finalists in the Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition, presented by Pureology. Pureology Serious Colour Care is a professional haircare line committed to the well-being of the environment, and since its inception in 2001, it has taken measures to decrease its impact on the environment by using natural, organic botanicals and 100% vegan ingredients. West Miami Middle was selected as a finalist out of more than 200 entries, based on the clarity and description of the school’s green challenges and need for a makeover. Each of the applications included proposals for green improvements, such as planting organic vegetable gardens, creating recycling programs, and adopting energy-efficiency upgrades. Over the coming weeks, a panel of judges will evaluate the schools and select one to win a grand prize for energy efficiency and sustainability upgrades valued at $130,000, which will be announced on December 6. Four runner-up schools will be awarded $2,500 each to make their school more sustainable.
