School is a fundamental place for the child's mind to grow and thrive and the child is able to socialize and adhere to the learning environment. In addition to education, simply being a part of the institution also shapes our beliefs. Schools are a prime institution to learn green education where it will prepare students to be sustainable in the future. In Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia, the protagonist, Will, travels to an ecological utopia where he learns to live sustainably or ecotopically. Unlike the fictional story of Ecotopia, the way of life in the United States is very different. I will compare and contrast the elementary education systems and the role of teachers, students, and curriculum discussed in Ecotopia in the United States. Furthermore, I will argue that no education system prepares young people to be truly sustainable, but there must be an ideal means that addresses both ecotopian and US values ​​to become “greener” citizens. The idea of ​​being a “green” citizen conveys the idea of ​​living a natural life and making minimal but best ecological choices. Teachers induce thoughts and beliefs in their students, and Ecotopia's elementary teachers illustrate the importance of free will in an ecological world. There are elementary teachers in Ecotopia who specialize in certain subjects in which they aspire to have their students challenged and indulged in their goals and interests (Callenbach 128). Although Ecotopia teachers provide tutelage for the teaching of all subjects, they support the idea that their country has “passed into the age of biology” in which most of their attention is paid to biology (Callenbach 126 - 129 ). Ec...... half of the document ......enabling students to acquire the basic knowledge needed to be a "greener" citizen in the future. An ideal green citizen lives a normal life while making sustainable choices. However, Ecotopia and the US education systems fail to get their students to achieve such ideals. In an ecotopic school, students learn about the Earth but are not taught other subjects. Conversely, in American schools, students learn all subjects but no specific ones related to sustainability. To ultimately prepare young people for the future, a balance between both systems is needed where students are educated in all subjects with knowledge of the ecosystem. By having a well-rounded education with sustainability specificity, students can judge their own "green" ideals and act accordingly so as to establish a new solution to unsustainable problems.
