Children spend so much time in schools, but the actual school buildings are not always good for their health– or the environment’s. Green building measures in schools, specifically those measures which affect the air they breathe, are extremely important to children’s health. Proper, sustainable ventilation must be employed in schools to keep children’s lungs healthy, but, as the climate crisis intensifies, the health of the surrounding environment is also an issue that educational professionals must address. Sustainable building measures for the sake of children is not only beneficial to their health, but necessary to reduce the emissions which are harming our planet.
