GM and the GM Foundation takes seriously the stewardship and responsible, sustainable management of the environment. Through its support of organizations such as Earth Force GREEN, the GM Foundation invests in education that promotes environmental sustainability, conservation and protection as good citizenship.

This year, the GM Foundation and Earth Force sponsored the inaugural Chevrolet GREEN Educator Awards. In conjunction with the GM GREEN program, 20 educators nationwide were honored with the inaugural Chevrolet GREEN Educator Award. Established by Earth Force Inc. and the General Motors Foundation, the award recognizes exceptional educators who integrate environmental education into their classrooms. The Chevrolet GREEN Educator Award honors educators of all kinds, including K-12 teachers, higher-education faculty, and community-based program instructors. The winners are featured on the Earth Force website and at www.greeneducator.org, where their teaching tools and ideas for engaging students are showcased as best practices for other educators.
