Learning and Living Sustainability at the Green School

The video highlights the sustainable practices at Green School, focusing on their water system and aquaponics center. The school uses a reverse osmosis system to provide clean water, reducing plastic waste. The aquaponics center supports food production through a closed-loop system, integrating fish and plant cultivation. These initiatives serve as practical lessons in math, science, history, and environmental studies, emphasizing sustainability and resource conservation.

• They are harmful to the environment

How does the school integrate the water system into its curriculum?

• By incorporating it into lessons on math, science, history, and the environment

• By using it as a case study in business classes

• By organizing field trips to similar systems

• By having students write essays about it

What is a key feature of the Aquaponics center?

• It is a closed-loop system that supports both plant and fish growth
