About the Program: 

We plan on installing a solar array on the school. The energy generated from it will be used to power lamps to grow vegetables on a small scale, year round, indoors, from our own school generated waste (compost). The school's social action club and science teachers will manage the garden and use it to demonstrate principles of sustainability. Our garden will be 100% sustainable and organic. The primary goal of our project is educational. A secondary goal is to reduce our carbon footprint and compostable waste generated by the school.
