We visited and were left feeling that the Green School is a bright shining example of everything that is wrong with the 'green' movement. This place is run like a fake green Disneyland charging for tours and filled with rich kids paying big bucks flown in (business class?) from other fake green bastions around the world such as California. It's more like a summer camp than a school. So you learn how to plant an organic garden - whoopee - hardly saving the world considering the students will eventually return to 'the world' (by airplane), to make lots of money to buy the latest mobile phone, a new auto, use electricity, aircon, heating, live and work in concrete buildings etc...

Excellent initiative and worth touring to see what can be done.…

I had been told about this tour by my mother (an Architect), so was prepared to be awed by the bamboo structures, which I was. What I was not so prepared for was to be immersed in the educational philosophy and see some of the student-led projects come to life. The BioBus is truly inspirational! What a great approach to education! If only more of the Balinese children could benefit!…
