"...I've never let my school interfere with my education..."
Mark Twain
That's right, the school should not interfere with an education. The building, the hallways, the classroom, all should enhance the educational experience and not affect it. In the past, materials such as asbestos, lead and poor HVAC systems had a negative effect on the student's health. Today we know how to build in a manner that respects both the earth and the health of individuals.
"...Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education..."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Does your educational facility reflect character and integrity? Social responsibility? Green educational facilities promote education and reflect a positive character. Green classrooms are healthy learning environments where the interior physical location wont affect the child's overall education. In fact, they can be used to enhance their education. Children can learn early practices of waste reduction and recycling. In addition, they can develop a lifestyle of eco-friendlly habits.
