Solar-Powered Blue Forest Eco Classroom Harvests Drinking Water from its Green Roof
06/28/14 - Why didn't they make classrooms like this when we were kids? A new off-grid teaching space in the UK is set to inspire the next generation of environmentalists.

The solar-powered system is believed to be the first of its kind in the UK. More details after the jump!
Nestled within mature woodlands on the grounds of Benenden School in Kent, this new environmental education facility raises the bar for self-sufficient buildings in the UK. The designers claim it’s the first building in the UK to process rainwater from a sedum roof into hot and cold potable water using only solar power. The eco-classroom is totally independent of mains water or other utility supplies, partly a necessity due to its remote location within the school grounds. read more>>>
