WHDH-TV - Boston Latin School changes for environment
After Arnold showed her class, An Inconvenient Truth, a documentary about climate change, her students were immediately inspired to act.

Their most ambitious plan was to transform the school's roof into a state-of-the art green learning center.
The design called for wind turbines, solar panels, vegetation to absorb run-off and a greenhouse to grow food for the cafeteria.

Scientific data collected from the roof will be downloaded and studied by students at other schools.
The project's estimated price tag was $5 million, with most of the fundraising being done by Youth CAN students who actively courted school alumni, city officials and private industries.
