Green+Triangle+Concept

GREEN TRIANGLE CONCEPT This Carolina Friends School End-of-Year experience comes out of our school's recent emphasis, as a Quaker school, on a green focus and mission. I've been aware for a long time of the growing number of green businesses and nonprofit activist organizations in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill). Indeed, many of our school's parents work for such businesses & organizations! The idea is for students to research basic categories, such as campus & city sustainability programs, alternative energy, green building, green products, organic farming & green landscaping, etc. We've contacted a variety of such organizations and will be doing field trips for the next two weeks (starting with N.C. State's Solar Center tomorrow!). Students are writing overview articles for this wiki on their chosen topics. One of our visits is already posted (the Green Home Tour). Once we've done our visits, we'll post our comments & pictures. We welcome suggestions and comments from others! Bryce Little Upper School Social Studies Teacher Carolina Friends School May 26, 2010
