Schools and their surrounding neighborhoods have established a close connection in an efficient system that has caught the attention of scientists. In an interesting shift, circularity education programs have become more popular than robotics as the extracurricular activity of choice for parents. Schools now serve as hubs for citizen science, collecting environmental data on a daily basis as part of their science curriculum. This valuable data is then utilized by local councils to make informed decisions regarding environmental policies at a hyper local level. The dedication of past generations to educate young children about environmental issues has yielded positive results, leading to a significant reduction in wasteful practices. These developments highlight the potential for schools to play a pivotal role in creating a sustainable and environmentally conscious society.
