This is the kind of step that needs to be taken. I remember a couple years ago they built a new high school in Westport, CT the town next to mine (where Bill McDonough, the famous green builder who has a solar house lives) and despite suggestions and resources in the community (which has a LOT of $$$) to build a 'green' school which would be healthier for the kids, as well as a great educational opportunity for them, the town chose to build this ugly monolithic school with little natural light (safer from all the terrorists that run around coastal Connecticut) and no energy-saving or solar features (which would have saved them serious cash over the long run). It was just so lame. Yay Beantown! This is the kind of step that needs to be taken.
