Real numbers. Real change.
Every action a family takes at home adds up. Here is what the Montessori Academy of Celebration community has accomplished — and what any household can do too.
Built for principals, loved by kids.
Positive & Hopeful
An optimistic, solutions-first approach kids love.

The future may look bright and cheerful if you keep a positive mindset and help your community work towards solutions, or it can look bleak if you simply give up. It is up to each individual and each family to keep us all moving towards sustainability.

Parents and children act together — at home and at school.

We are not in this alone. Each family can take steps to save energy, water, and money and become more sustainable. Every effort counts, and with the Green Actioneers program, we can document and accumulate those efforts, rewarding families for their accomplishments.

We focus on what unites us: saving energy, water, and money.

There may be family or community members who do not agree with the science that tells us that the climate is changing and that people are responsible. So rather than trying to win them over, we ignore that controversy and focus on an area where everyone can agree that it makes sense to be more conservative in our use of resources.

This website and our Green Actioneers Family Action Guide both give you the simple steps to implementation. One, get the book. Two, find actions you can take. Three, whenever you take any action, transfer a sticker to your accomplished sheet. Four, add up your stickers and put your family name on the appropriate badge and move the badge up the chart.

Schools become hubs of joyful neighborhood action.

Family actions all school year aim at "Parade for the Planet" on or around Earth Day. Publicize that event and get neighbors involved in your program. Be bold in promoting your green actions beyond your school and into the larger community, encouraging others to join in on the fun.

Leadership, stewardship, and confidence — by design.

Green Actioneers can supplement or invigorate programs like scouting in schools and faith communities, borrowing heavily from those movements by rewarding families for taking actions that help us all and by celebrating accomplishments. Kids see their community come together to accomplish and celebrate individual goals.

Authors, educators, and leaders agree.

"Dave is intent on correcting the imbalance between people and the planet..."
"Finnigan goes about his educational work in innovative ways that will resonate with adults and children alike."
"Green Actioneers will mobilize families to help us in our mission to Restore Our Earth™"
"I've been impressed by Dave's experience, his inspirational and motivational skills, and his pragmatic approach to educating students and parents about how we can address the environmental challenges we face."
"Schools and families can work together to take action. Don't just teach about the problem. Empower your community to be part of the solution with the Green Actioneers Family Action Guide."
Montessori Academy of Celebration.
A K–8 community in Celebration, Florida that piloted Green Actioneers school-wide. In one year, families logged thousands of Green Actions at home, the campus cut energy use, and sustainability became part of the school's identity — not a once-a-year unit.
In their own words.
Our students aren't just learning about sustainability — they're leading it. Green Actioneers turned environmental awareness into a schoolwide habit.
I turn off the water when I brush my teeth now, and I made my little brother do it too. We saved 14 gallons last week!
The bilingual comics are a hit. Families who never engaged with classroom newsletters are now texting me photos of their weekly actions.
My favorite part is the challenges. Our class beat the 5th graders at the recycling sort — twice!
