Sustainable Practice

The future is not what it used to be. The effects of globalization become increasingly more pervasive, and we must prepare our boys for a world whose perspective is at the same time both global and local. They need to be familiar with the main arguments and facts of environmental issues, global warming, depletion of resources, the carbon footprint of their lives, the stresses of population figures, the structural inequalities of societies across the globe, and the resultant disparities of wealth and poverty. How do we introduce sustainable practice into the curriculum of the school, and into the operations of the school (solar panel heating, water-efficient taps etc)? What would the school be like if it was run with full sensitivity to both the ecological and social constraints of the world we are moving into? Someone has to pioneer the school of the future – could it be us?
