GREEN SCHOOLS PROGRAM GOALS

The study of environmental problems is an exercise in

despair unless it is regarded as only a preface to the

study, design and implementation of solutions.

- David Orr

Ecosource takes a whole school approach to the Green Schools program:

Work on the assumption that the concern shown for environmental problems in the formal curriculum must be addressed whenever possible in day to day practice in the school’s nonformal curriculum. Thus schools practise what they teach, values are reinforced by action and in this way values are caught, not just taught.

Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future… At school you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share and not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do those things you teach us not to do?

Severn Cullis-Suzuki Age 12, Rio Summit 1992

By exercising environmental responsibility in their own

operations, organizations within the education system can serve

as models of corporate citizenship for students and the broader

community and ensure coherence with the environmental

messages conveyed by the curriculum.”
