This Charter school in Chicago has a fab website and will soon have a net positive energy building that produces more energy through on-site renewable energy than it consumes.
"We are striving to produce a replicable model for learning in the 21st century, through the construction of a net-positive energy school building. This model, built upon the integration of sustainable practices into the learning environment, acts as a "third teacher" for the students. It also serves as a prototype that will shift global communities towards a system of learning that educates our next generation to excel in a socio-economic environment that depends on the state of our planet.
We are the leaders of today and our children will be the environmental, social, and political stewards of tomorrow.
It is our responsibility to equip them with the advantages and opportunities afforded by unsurpassed education and the dream of unlimited potential."
Powerful words.......
