Cambridge Montessori SchoolCambridge, Massachusetts, April 2009Kristen von Hoffmann presented a workshop on the Greenfox5
to the Green Committee comprised of parents, teachers, and administrators at
the Cambridge Montessori School. Kristen talked about how a Montessori
education lays the foundation for teaching values of cooperation, a tenet that
relates directly to sustainability. As students develop stronger interpersonal
skills, they come to understand the depth of interconnectedness among people,
industries, economies, and cultures, and the need for sustainable solutions
that protect the environment while meeting the needs of the people. Kristen
workshopped the Greenfox5 model and participants brainstormed ways in which the
categories of the Greenfox5 (energy, waste, food, products, and greenspace)
could be optimized to benefit their school and the environment.
