地球日网络程序摇曳辛辛那提决定打造更绿色的学校
地球日网络的国家公民教育项目被认为是最近在辛辛那提建造绿色学校的决定的主要贡献者。
国家公民教育项目（CEP）是由地球日网络创建的，使年轻人能够行使其权利，并捍卫他们作为公民的职责，因为它们解决了影响其社区的环境健康问题。CEP学生灌输了在各个层面上举办政治领导者所需的技能，骄傲和热情，这对民主进程的核心说话。
“在第一年的第一年，市民教育项目创造了一代新一代的城市活跃和受过教育的学生，他们帮助说服辛辛那提校委员会在整个城市创造更健康的学校。地球日网络正在创造环境民主，新的绿色运动。That is our vision, said Kathleen Rogers, EDN president. “This is only the first step in Cincinnati and we’re already expanding to other cities because every city in the United States holds unique environmental challenges that can act as a civic education experience for students."
During the May 8th meeting of the Cincinnati Board of Education, the Director of the Facilities Branch for Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) presented high performance design guidelines, which clarify the Board’s decision to use the best practices of green building design in partnership with the Cincinnati chapter of U.S. Green Building Council. These guidelines will now be included in the CPS Building Standards, with the goal of building and operating sustainable high performance school facilities that are environmentally and fiscally responsible, healthy places to learn and work that promote student achievement.
一个当地的绿色建筑倡导集团，领导力和互联联盟（盟友），为实现这一成就的地球日网络公民教育项目提供了信贷。“I believe that this year’s Earth Day Network Green School Civic Education Project provided the nudge for Cincinnati Public Schools to announce that they are going to go green with the rest of the schools being built and renovated,” said Ginny Frazier, executive director of ALLY.
Earth Day Network chose four schools in Cincinnati and one in Washington, D.C. for the first year of the Civic Education Project, 2005-2006, because each city faces significant environmental problems and educational obstacles and is home to a large number of minority and low-income students. In Cincinnati, more than 76% of students are of a minority race and approximately 2/3 of all students receive free or reduced lunches.
在辛辛那提，五位教师参加：John Dean和Shelby Louden在Aiken College和Career高中，Penelope Greenler在Winton Montessori，Kamlesh Jindal在Bond Hill Academy，以及与辛辛那提Park Board的Erin Morris。这些教师及其学生专注于绿色学校，因为辛辛那提从事1亿美元的学校翻新计划。
“参加市民教育项目帮助我看到了绿色和高性能学校环境对学生的影响。”Penelope Greenler说。“我们的孩子值得拥有健康的学校，并加强他们的教育。尽管他们的学校环境不好，但透气不足，噪音太多，噪音太多，空间不足，而且没有足够的空间，他们不应该学习。
