Eco Charter School Consulting
“Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.”
-Ancient Native American proverb
Arizona State University’s College of Sustainability is still in its infancy. If a major university has taken a leadership role in the study of Sustainability, it only makes sense that our students begin to learn from a young age the importance of managing our natural resources in a fiscally responsible way.
Green In The Valley’s vision for charter schools is to make each one of them a “Green” sustainable school. One in which each charter school owner is saving on energy and water use, is recycling within the school, has gardens for both educational and nutritional reasons, has implemented our sustainable curriculum (series of classes in the 1st and 2nd semester customized to living here in the Valley of The Sun), has young students competing in innovative sustainable contests/projects and winning scholarships to advance their education.
Green In The Valley envisions the Charter School owner not only reducing overhead, but increasing enrollment. In an environment with multiple school choices (public, charter, private) for parents to send their children, what might be some of the deciding factors? In a case where all things are equal between two schools except one has improved air quality, and is teaching sustainable practices, has programs implemented for students to gain national recognition and participate in leadership conferences, and projects that make a positive impact on the local environment, what choice do we think the parents will make?
