Comtemplating Bali on a Snowy Day

Well, the snow has fallen again in Yellowknife - blanketing everything in white. It sure makes things look nice and clean.

On the other hand, putting on the winter boots always makes me wonder about life in warmer places. One such place that has been on my mind is the Green School in Bali. The ideas behind this school are amazing. I first heard about it reading about it in Time. The basic idea is that they have designed a school for kids that exemplifies sustainability and tries to provide a solid education for the 21st century global village.

In some ways it seems like it is trying to be too much - a recipe for failure possibly. When you build up high expectations it is easy to disappoint. On the other hand it really seems to be getting off the ground.

Maybe we'll take the kids there some time.
