Sustainable Schools
- Share via
“The Greening of L.A. Schools” (July 21) is not only uplifting but intriguing. The idea of sustainable schools has considerable value, and such value outweighs the start-up costs for sustainability:
1. Each school becomes a model for community sustainability, making it possible to accommodate more population with less demand on resources and with some effect upon the flow of money into and out of a community.
2. Each school becomes necessarily self-sufficient, in case of electric-grid failure, as will happen when a large earthquake hits.
3. Each school exposes children, firsthand, to the usefulness of science and technology in the creation of a more healthful environment.
