I plan on integrating alternative means of basic lifestyle and the idea of alternative technology into my curriculum. Starting those ideas at a young age will make it more likely that these students will see eco consciousness as the norm. While looking up information on John Todd, I also wanted to see if there were any major educational research projects being proliferated in the media, and ran across an antarctic expedition planned for the fall, being lead by an explorer named Andrew Regan. http://www.transantarcticexpedition.com/education/What's really cool about their planned project is they are pioneering new ways to cross the antarctic in a more environmentally friendly way with something called the concept ice vehicle. I really like that they are using alternative means to not only research the area, but to bring educational awareness to the public.

What’s really cool about their planned project is they are pioneering new ways to cross the antarctic in a more environmentally friendly way with something called the concept ice vehicle.

I would contact the University and ask them. Also do some searches for John Todd and look into him. He does some amazing things including some biosphere projects that I'm sure are studying similar things.

Is there anything else out there similar to this project, or focused on eco research? I am interested in teaching my class (I am an elementary school teaacher) about the basics of the environment and how research is related.
