V's right. Seriously, if I had a million dollars I'd pick a school, any school and take it off the grid with solar. I wonder what our schools could do with the money they'd save by not having an electric bill and earn selling power back to the grid? Maybe bring a librarian back, have art and sports and more teachers? Maybe some bike racks? Who knows.Originally Posted by Veronica
Because I'd be poor really, a million's not that much compared to some people, like Bernie maybeI'd ask that school to take the money they save and earn to help another school to do the same. And maybe this could snowball.
Everyone debates "solar's great but where are we gonna put it?" blah blah blah. Well how about on our schools? They have roofs, they could use new roofs anyway.
Before you know it you'd have a lot of schools saving and earning a lot, a lot of green jobs, and a lot of solar power.
And that's what I'd do if I had a million dollars.Seriously.
I'd also buy a green dress.but not a real green dress, that would be cruel.

If I had a million dollars, I'd hire 5 more teachers at my school so we could reduce our class size. I'd also bring our librarian back to full time and hire an art teacher.

They fixed the bridges out between Smith's Switch and Ashburn a few years ago, so I think now all the bad wooden bridges have been made new and smooth.
