"The EcoHouse tour provided the students with an excellent opportunity for environmental education outside the classroom. The activities the students participated in were both interesting and interactive and served to enhance their awareness of water and energy conservation as well as waste reduction.

The tour leaders enthusiastically shared their knowledge and illicited a great deal of student involvement allowing them the opportunity to share their ideas and opinions. In an era where we are faced with enormous environmental challenges, environmental education should be an integral part of our educational system. By experiencing EcoHouse, the students recognized the important need to adopt a sustainable lifestyle.

EcoHouse was undoubtedly a worthwhile school trip and was thoroughly enjoyed by both the students and teachers. Many of our students expressed their excitement about everything they had learned and commented on how "cool" the experience was. We will definitely visit again!"
