Green Education and Sustainability in Schools Promotes Green Lifestyles, Eco-Conscious Citizens
Sustainable development will not just be in the classroom it will be in its bricks and mortar and the way that the school uses and generates its own power. Our students won’t just be told about sustainable development, they will see and work within it a living, learning place in which to explore what a sustainable lifestyle means.
Years ago, the term green school would simply have referred to the color of the paint on the walls. But with today’s increased energy costs, increased accountability and reduced operating and capital budgets, education decision-makers are going green to become more efficient and provide a healthier environment for improved student learning.
