Green Schools in Indonesia

I had the pleasure of watching a clip about a green school in Bali Indonesia by CO founder John Hardy. This Idea put into motion is giving students a relevant, holistic and green education in the most amazing environment on the planet.

Their classrooms are made of bamboo, in which have no walls, so the students feel the breeze as it passes through. The black board are made of bamboo, this school is nested on 20 plus acres of rolling gardens. There is a community built around this school, houses in which are also green houses. All food in this village is organic, are picked and harvested by the children themselves. This school also has, Compost toilets. This beautiful school is all built by hand.

I think this is the best idea I have seen so far in building a greener future, by shaping the minds of our future. Giving children a new way of thinking, we are on our way to a cleaner more greener, sustainable future.
