Create Support Systems- Become the Heart of the Community
If we hoped to pull Nettelhorst out of its twenty-five year nose-dive, the school desperately needed to leverage every ounce of its limited power. What could an underutilized, underperforming public elementary school possibly offer the marketplace?

In the film, this guy in New York City pledged to live impact-free on the earth for one year. That means his wife and 2-year-old child lived without electricity, and bicycled everywhere among other surprising habits in a metropolis….More
