designing a hyper-local circular school

Schools play a vital role in the early development of young people, providing a space for learning, socializing, exercising, and more. To support this, a wide range of resources is required, including facilities, food, books, staff, and equipment. Many schools are now focusing on sustainability, teaching students about recycling and waste reduction. However, there is growing interest in how schools themselves can operate more sustainably by adopting circular practices. This involves rethinking daily routines, building connections with local ecosystems, and making both small and large changes to reduce waste and promote environmental responsibility.
