I haven't read much that is useful about education since Dewey. Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Opressed was great too.
I am reading some Ivan Illich and am getting psyched again about teaching with a green curriculum. I just got the latest copy of the National Teacher's Association magazine, which frankly is usually a bore. They had a great spread on going green.
Most of what we've done so far at my school has been in spite of the powers that be, not because of them. We re-instituted recycling, built a solar car and started a Green Club, not because we got any encouragement, but because the students wanted to do it, and it needed to be done.
Don't expect any pats on the back for doing anything green.
It's okay, because at least they were not fighting us, much.
Can't stop the unstoppable. The color of the future is green.
Here's a project we did a couple of years ago with Art Haines:
