I want to create a school where you can go to learn for free, online and off line. There are schools that are getting into Open Course Ware (OCW) which offers a few free classes on the same subjects just from different schools. What I would like to make happen is free college classes provided online and at a campus. The college would be ran and operated by the same students attending it. "You need a class we need ____ ?", strictly volunteer work. If a instructor does not show for class the class begins and continues by the students. This is a place for people who have a drive to learn and better themselves. Education is the answer to every issue we face today. We need to learn how to live with our environment instead of using it up to live. We need to address so many needs. Why are we stunting our growth as a nation by charging for an education when we should be collaborating together for a better tomorrow. After all is that not why this nation was created.

Three-ring binders, pens, erasers, textbooks--Trapper Keeper, anyone? Pretty soon, even the most classic of school supplies may be going out of style as education goes online. The virtual classroom streamlines the educational process, making college degrees more accessible to students--and a lot easier on Mother Nature. As we finally start trying to reverse the effects humans have had on the planet, it's not a moment too soon.
Online education is one of the most effective ways an institution can reduce its carbon footprint. Little research has been done on this topic in the U.S., but the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and the UK's Open University Design Innovation Group (DIG) have released some relevant studies. Their work quantifies the environmental impact of the higher education sector and lauds the "potential of the Internet and other elearning methods to radically reduce energy consumption and emissions." The key finding of the UK study: distance learning courses consumed nearly 90% less energy and produced 85% fewer CO2 emissions than conventional campus university courses. This has the potential to make a huge impact in the United States, where online enrollments grew 10% last year, bringing the total of online students to about 3.5 million.
1. Drive Less
The major factor in energy conservation is reduced travel time. Your home office or kitchen table is a lot closer than the classroom. Online education eliminates the campus commute, reducing carbon dioxide emissions dramatically. DIG registered a 92% reduction in "travel-related environmental impact."
2. Use Fewer Campus Resources
Campus energy consumption--the resources used to power and heat classrooms--accounts for another sizable chunk of higher education's carbon footprint. SEI estimates that the UK school system emits 9.25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year. England's higher education sector alone spends the equivalent of $400 million per year on energy. Online education, by contrast, "involves very little additional impact compared to that arising from general living and consuming." The format uses existing facilities (your home office, for example) rather than depending on a separate educational infrastructure.
3. Use Less Paper
Online degrees save trees. Learning happens on-screen rather than on paper, using discussion boards, downloadable lectures and exams, videos, email, and more. Electronic reading materials replace those expensive textbooks. No paper needed: students take notes, write and submit essays, and complete exams online. DIG's study found that "electronic delivery of distance courses more than halves paper and print consumption."
4. Promote Large-Scale Conservation
The online format offers powerful economies of scale. Once an online class has been developed, it can be scaled to serve large numbers of students with negligible impact on the resources consumed. A single class uses nearly the same amount of server space regardless of whether one or one hundred remote students log on.
5. Take On More Civic Responsibility
A college education opens students' minds and prepares them to become the leaders of tomorrow. Students graduate with the cultural literacy to understand world problems, the analytical skills to develop solutions, and the institutional power to make a difference.
An online college education can open even more students' minds--its flexible format increases access for nontraditional students whose schedules and resources might otherwise not accommodate class time. According to the Sloan Consortium, 73% of Chief Academic Officers report that online education reaches students not served by face-to-face programs, and cite improved student access as their top reason for offering online courses and programs. Online education has the potential to raise the overall level of education in the United States.
6. Explore More Options
Virtual education is not only more agile and forward-thinking, but it also has a broader reach. Students are no longer limited to college campuses within a fifty-mile radius. The online format offers access to countless specialty programs nationwide. Interested in pesticide biodegradation? Coral reef ecology? Chances are you can find a college course or degree that fits your environmental interests exactly. Access to remote environmental education programs may also make you eligible for an EPA grant. The National Environmental Education Act of 1990 (NEEA) administers grants and student fellowship programs to promote environmental education.
7. Create a Global Network
The virtual classroom builds global community. Everyone benefits from shared experiences. "Web-based collaboration tools enable people in far reaches of the world to share an educational experience," explains one online program coordinator.

Wow it's cold out there today! What happened to Spring being around the corner? I had a late night working online, didn't get to bed till 4am. Ha, hmmn, I slept through a bunch of stuff this mornin'! Matter of fact I heard the phone ring and I thought it was the alarm clock upstairs until my voice mail beeped. I finally got up around 10:30 am or so, for a minute anyways. I worked for a little while in the office and then I worked online for a few hours.
