Several years ago, the small town of Cuba in Fulton County was presented
an opportunity to build a new school for 7th through 12th graders when
land was gifted to the school district. But instead of building a school
in which children could learn, leaders decided to create an opportunity
for students to change the way they live. It took untold hours of
study, but school board members and administrators proposed to the
community an environment that surrounded the kids in a sustainable
lifestyle. It is a
chance for children to live a sustainable life rather than just learn
about it. On the surface, it may seem like the life of a century ago,
raising fish, caring for chickens and re-funneling rain water for their
own garden. 
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught. Baba Dioum
