ICON Goes Green
ICON FOUNDATION adopts environmentally friendly ways
.Icon is planing to upgrade existing buildings at its Clipper Mills campus. Among the anticipated features are: flooring that's
actually made from sustainable bamboo, waterless urinals, and solar panels that enable the facility to produce some of its own
electricity. ICON plans to update the space by installing the latest energy-efficient heating and cooling system, adding
skylights to reduce the need for electric lighting, and while the property has abundant trees on most of the acres, additional
trees will be planted in some areas of the grounds of the main campus area to provide needed shade. The charity realizes it
will take some initial expenditures, for the modifications but says it will recoup those costs in utility savings. It takes some
upfront investment, but we probably will spend 20 to 40 percent less on energy than most people in our size buildings.
Icon Foundation programs offer higher education that fosters ecological awareness and personal and societal transformation
through immersion in a variety of environments and cultures, critical reflection, and experiential learning communities. Icon
management has a deep wish to participate in promoting lifelong engagement in ecological awareness, individual justice and
responsible global citizenship.
Students of all ages will be welcome to join Icon's learning communities to be offered, which we hope will result in a rich mixture
of experience and insight. Participatory decision making will be emphasized. Icon is confident that all students will gain valuable
conflict resolution skills by learning the attitude of peaceful mediation between different viewpoints..
By making this crucial investment in our facilities, we will not only repair and upgrade existing buildings but put new tools in the
minds of Icon student residents regarding the preparation they need to compete on a global stage. .
The implementation of these programs and projects at our Icon campus would play a vital role in ensuring our project is able to
maximize scarce education resources by cutting school utility costs, all while nurturing resident student health, creating an
ideal learning environment, helping secure our nation’s energy future, protecting our environment against wasteful use of
resources, and creating a generation of people who make responsible, healthy, green choices.
A few of the other Icon Green programs include Building healthy outdoor seating in the courtyard using natural and recycled
materials in order to promote outdoor study.
Facility water systems, conservation management.
A variety of natural composting methods Native habitat gardening, Green house and Hydroponics systems.
School organic gardening beginner, intermediate, and advanced
Building and using bird and butterfly gardens
Cooking with garden produce.
