Welcome To Our Sustainable Development Project |
|
Phase VI has been completed and Phase VII is underway!
Our Sustainable Development Project has expanded into SEVEN phases:
In June 2000, two Cochrane High School science teachers decided to create a real-life example of sustainable development as a learning tool for their students. Their plan was to install solar panels and a wind turbine on the roof of the school. They gathered a group of interested students to help fundraise and promote the project. To read more about the project in general, see our Project Overview page.
