The Problem
The aim of this project is to construct a sustainable greenhouse that can be used by the entire IICS community. The facility will be accessible for everyone and the science department, gardening team and primary school has already got in touch with us in order to utilise the place once finalised. Moreover, this projects attempts to tackle different things. First, it will manage to raise awareness of global citizenship, by impelling concepts such as food miles and by increasing interest in environmentally friendly activities. Second, it will raise awareness regarding healthy food choices. This will occur as people will be able to buy locally or grown their own food, along with providing organic food choices. Third, it will enhance our school's green initiative. The project will first work on the centennial goals of 2012, in an attempt to make the school a greener and more eco-friendly place. Second, it will integrate this new facility into our school's environment orientated curriculum such as the science department. Last, we aim to foster a greater sense of community and pride by creating a gardening group and adding a new, dynamic, accessible and suitable facility into our community.
