The article refers to a report called "Greening America's Schools" and focuses on how the green movement has affected the Inderkum High School in Sacramento, California. Inderkum has wells under the school's parking lot that are part of the heating and cooling system--a geothermal arrangement that is energy efficient, according to school board president Ron Dwyer-Voss. Comments on public awareness concerning ecologically friendly, green schools are provided by the Good Energies venture-capital firm's managing director Gregory Kats and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools' assistant director Kristen Heinen. California's Green Schools Initiative and air quality are mentioned.
