On the afternoon of Tuesday, February 15, after a long day of meetings with state legislators, the members of the Advocacy Committee worked with the legislative Green Schools Caucus and other partner organizations to tour a "Green School". The legislators and their staff were transported to the school in Georgetown, Kentucky on a hybrid TARC bus from Louisville. In this photo, Advocacy Chair Chris Tyler and Advocacy member Steve Eggers make use of the ride over to discuss green building legislation ideas with Representative Mary Lou Marzian (D-Louisville) and Representative Jim Wayne (D-Louisville).

Legislators, students, Advocacy Committee members and members of the building's architecture team looked around the open, airy, bright foyer of ECS before starting the official tour.
-
Hannah, a junior at ECS, welcomed the group and started the small-group tours of the school -- each led by three students.
-
Chapter volunteer Brett Ruffing, and Jennifer Cash, one of the architects responsible for the design of the school, look at some of the sustainable features of the building, such as low-maintenance floors and skylights.
-
The classrooms at ECS are all large and multifunctional, so the building can adapt to the changing needs of the Scott County students.
