Bryn Nelson goes back to school to find out.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">\n<div class=\"article__aside__section article__share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<p>It begins with a girl from Oregon. She is eight years old, and crying.<\/p>\n<p>At the edge of suburbia, her grandfather\u2019s woods with her favourite climbing trees and \u2018green sky\u2019 trees for reading are being clear-cut for a new housing development where she and her mother will be forced to live.<\/p>\n<p>She will be an architect, she tells her mother through her tears. One who can build homes without killing the trees.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years later, two girls and a boy are pointing out a dry streambed and a towering bank of plants bathed in daylight. They are 10 or 11 years old, and talking excitedly, all at once, about the things they love the most. The plants climbing an 18-foot wall are purifying the air and treating used water, while the pebbled streambed carries new rainwater to a cistern beneath a \u2018living building\u2019: an airy classroom designed to function as efficiently as a flower.<\/p>\n<p>Stacy Smedley, the girl from Oregon, became an architect after all, and helped to build this science wing for the private Bertschi School in Seattle. The classroom has the lifespan of a tree, is mainly lit by the sun, collects its own water, and excludes a long \u2018red list\u2019 of potentially harmful materials such as mercury, formaldehyde and polyvinyl chloride. Best of all, Smedley says, the kids helped design it themselves.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re among the lucky ones. Teachers, parents, politicians and researchers routinely cite a long list of factors that can interfere with a quality education. The dangers of asbestos and lead in older school buildings have been documented for years. Among the external threats, pesticides can stray from adjacent fields, while pollutants drift from nearby roads. Until recently, however, relatively few observers focused on the overall environmental quality of the interior spaces where, apart from their own homes, children spend most of their time.<\/p>\n<p>As evidence mounts that factors such as poor ventilation, inadequate daylight, and exposure to chemicals and microbes can harm both learning and health, a movement linking well-designed classrooms to the wellbeing of students is gaining momentum. But by adopting short-term solutions to overcrowding and underfunding \u2013 such as cheaply constructed and poorly maintained portable classrooms \u2013 many schools are only making the problem worse.<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arb.ca.gov\/research\/indoor\/pcs\/leg_rpt\/leg_rpt.htm\">Environmental Health Conditions in California\u2019s Portable Classrooms<\/a><\/em>, one of the few comprehensive studies of the potential impact of portable classrooms on children\u2019s environmental health.<\/li>\n<li><em>Condition of America\u2019s Public School Facilities<\/em>, a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/pubsearch\/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2014022\">sobering report on some of the many infrastructure problems confronting the nation\u2019s schools<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncef.org\/pubs\/greenschoolshistory.pdf\">fascinating history of schoolroom design and indoor environmental standards<\/a>\u00a0[PDF].<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1600-0668.2010.00703.x\/abstract\">review of the links between ventilation rates and health in indoor spaces<\/a>\u00a0[research abstract only].<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/theseedcollaborative.org\/\">SEED Collaborative<\/a>\u00a0is one of several organisations and companies pushing for better portable classrooms;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sageclassroom.com\/\">SAGE<\/a>\u00a0is another.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/living-future.org\/casestudies\">Living Building Challenge: Case Studies site\u00a0<\/a>includes a description of several \u2018living building\u2019 schools.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulabakerlaporte.com\/bau-biologie\/\">primer on Baubiologie<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/earthfix.info\/portables\/\"><em>Inside the Box<\/em>\u00a0special report<\/a>\u00a0by InvestigateWest and EarthFix takes a regional look at portable classroom problems in the US states of Washington and Oregon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/inside-the-green-schools-revolution-ze2a8zw6m?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8424,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"The best strategy to save money for your marketing campaign.
