NCC as a green campus makes healthy choices for ourselves and our planet. Our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint and to show children, staff, families, community and the world how we can live responsibly on Earth. A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by human activity.

NCC is a re-certified Bay Area Green Business since 2012 and has received an Acterra Award for Sustainability. This means that NCC has been recognized for our leadership in achieving all three pillars of sustainability: people, planet and profit.

NCC AS A BAY AREA GREEN BUSINESS

Since December 2012, NCC has officially been a certified Bay Area Green Business! In February 2016, we were re-certified as a Green Business. This means our school has complied with the environmental regulations and have met the general practices and targets resource conservation and pollution prevention measures. Some general practices are:

- Track water and energy usage and solid and hazardous waste generation.
- Adopt a written environmentally preferable (or green) purchasing policy.
- Establish a 'green team' that can help guide efforts to green your business.
- Provide three on-going incentives or training opportunities to encourage management and employee participation.
- Inform your customers about your efforts to meet the Green Business Standards.
