As you entered the school you would be struck by the design of the building. Light would pour through the many windows, connecting the children with the outside environment. Power would be sustainable: solar, wind, geothermal and biofuel used to best advantage. Rainwater harvesting would be the norm. Toilets would not be flushed with drinking water. There wouldn’t be waste bins – all material would be re-used, recycled or composted. Food eaten in the school would be either grown in the school allotment or supplied by local producers. Long-term contracts would enable these producers to set up businesses with environmental credibility to benefit not just the school, but it’s neighbours. Producers would be treated like partners. They wouldn’t be worried about when the bills would be paid; they would be paid within two weeks.

Not only would our children be taught how to learn, how to question and how to gain the academic achievements they were capable of, they would learn how the world works
