In honor of Earth Day, the students of Green Pines Elementary School participated in the 2009 Young Learners' Conference known as "Gators Go Green" where speakers from all over the region discussed various environmental issues that have global impact.
As part of the conference, guest speaker Nancy Rodney, LEED AP with Rosemann & Associates, P.C. provided expertise into green building design and how it differs from traditional construction.
Her presentation was based on the U. S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) principles and what community builders are doing to change the way people think about "greening" built environments.
"In the future, 'green' won't be an added feature to projects," Rodney says. "When these kids are grown it will simply be the way we build."
Sponsored by Partners in Education, the organization assisted the Rockwood School District in compiling a list of experts in resource conservation and recycling to present at April 21-22, 2009 conference.
