TED Talks, John Hardy: My green school dream

John Hardy: My green school dream

I grew up in a very small village in Canada, and I'm an undiagnosed dyslexic.

I had a really hard time in school. In fact, my mother told me eventually that I was the little kid in the village who cried all the way to school. I ran away. I left when I was 25 years old to go to Bali. And there I met my incredible wife, Cynthia, and together over 20 years, we built an amazing jewelry business. It was a fairy tale, and then we retired. Then she took me to see a film that I really didn't want to see. It ruined my life -- (Laughter) "An Inconvenient Truth" and Mr. Gore. I have four kids, and even if part of what he says is true, they're not going to have the life that I had. And I decided at that moment that I would spend the rest of my life doing whatever I could to improve their possibilities. So here's the world, and here we are in Bali. It's a tiny, little island -- 60 miles by 90 miles. It has an intact Hindu culture. Cynthia and I were there. We had had a wonderful life there, and we decided to do something unusual. We decided to give back locally. And here it is; it's called the Green School.

I know it doesn't look like a school, but it is something we decided to do, and it is extremely, extremely green. The classrooms have no walls. The teacher is writing on a bamboo blackboard. The desks are not square. At Green School, the children are smiling -- an unusual thing for school, especially for me. And we practice holism. And for me it's just the idea that, if this little girl graduates as a whole person, chances are she'll demand a whole world -- a whole world -- to live on. Our children spend 181 days going to school in a box. The people that built my school also built the prison and the insane asylum out of the same materials. So if this gentleman had have had a holistic education, would he be sitting there? Would he have had more possibilities in his life? The classrooms have natural light.

They're beautiful. They're bamboo. The breeze passes through them. And when the natural breeze isn't enough, the kids deploy bubbles, but not the kind of bubbles you know. These bubbles are made from natural cotton and rubber from the rubber tree. So we basically turned the box into a bubble. And these kids know that painless climate control may not be part of their future. We pay the bill at the end of the month, but the people that are really going to pay the bill are our grandchildren. We have to teach the kids that the world is not indestructible. These kids did a little graffiti on their desks, and then they signed up for two extra courses. The first one was called sanding, and the second one was called re-waxing. But since that happened, they own those desks. They know they can control their world. We're on the grid; we're not proud of it.

but an amazing alternative energy company in Paris is taking us off the grid with solar. And this thing is the second vortex to be built in the world, in a two and a half meter drop on a river. When the turbine drops in, it will produce 8,000 watts of electricity, day and night. And you know what these are. There's nowhere to flush. And as long as we're taking our waste and mixing it with a huge amount of water -- you're all really smart, just do the math. How many people times how much water. There isn't enough water. These are compost toilets. And nobody at the school wanted to know about them, especially the principal. And they work; people use them. People are okay. It's something you should think about doing. Not many things didn't work. The beautiful canvas and rubber skylights got eaten by the sun in six months. We had to replace them with recyclable plastic. The teachers dragged giant PVC whiteboards into the classrooms, so we had some good ideas. We took old automobile windshields, put paper behind them and created the first alternative to the whiteboard. Green School sits in south-central Bali, and it's on 20 acres of rolling garden.

There's an amazing river traveling through it, and you can see there how we manage to get across the river. I met a father the other day, he looked a little crazed. I said, "Welcome to Green School." He said, "I've been on an airplane for 24 hours." I asked him, "Why?" He said, "I had a dream once about a green school, and I saw a picture of this green school, I got on an airplane. In August I'm bringing my sons." This was a great thing. But more than that, people are building green houses around Green School, so their kids can walk to school on the paths. And people are bringing their green industries, hopefully their green restaurants, to the Green School. It's becoming a community. It's becoming a green model. We had to look at everything. No petrochemicals in the pavement. No pavement. These are volcanic stones laid by hand. There are no sidewalks. The sidewalks are gravel, they flood when it rains, but they're green. This is the school buffalo.

He's planning to eat that fence for dinner. All the fences at Green School are green. And when the kindergarten kids recently moved their gate, they found out the fence was made out of tapioca. They took the tapioca roots up to the kitchen, sliced them thinly and made delicious chips. Landscaping. We manage to keep the garden that was there running right up to the edge of each of the classrooms. We dropped them gently in. We made space for these guys who are Bali's last black pigs. And the school cow is trying to figure out how to replace the lawnmower on the playing field. These young ladies are living in a rice culture, but they know something that few people know in a rice culture.

They know how to plant organic rice, they know how to look after it, they know how to harvest and they know how to cook it. They're part of the rice cycle. and these skills will be valuable for them in their future. This young man is picking organic vegetables. We feed 400 people lunch every day. And it's not a normal lunch; there's no gas. Local Balinese women cook the food on sawdust burners using secrets that only their grandmothers know. The food is incredible. Green School is a place of pioneers, local and global.

And it's a kind of microcosm of the globalized world. The kids are from 25 countries. When I see them together, I know that they're working out how to live in the future. Green School is going into its third year with 160 children. It's a school where you do learn reading -- one of my favorites -- writing -- I was bad at it -- arithmetic. But you also learn other things. You learn bamboo building. You practice ancient Balinese arts. This is called mud wrestling in the rice fields. The kids love it. The mothers aren't quite convinced. (Laughter)

We've done a lot of outrageous things in our lives, and we said, okay, local.

What does local mean? Local means that 20 percent of the population of the school has to be Balinese. And this was a really big commitment. And we were right. And people are coming forward from all over the world to support the Balinese Scholarship Fund, because these kids will be Bali's next green leaders. The teachers are as diverse as the student body. And the amazing thing is that volunteers are popping up. A man came from Java with a new kind of organic agriculture. A woman came from Africa with music. And together these volunteers and the teachers are deeply committed to creating a new generation of global, green leaders. The Green School effect -- we don't know what it is. We need someone to come and study it. But what's happening, our learning-different kids -- dyslexic -- we've renamed them prolexic -- are doing well in these beautiful, beautiful classrooms. And all the kids are thriving. And how did we do all this?

On giant grass. It's bamboo. It comes out of the ground like a train. It grows as high as a coconut tree in two months. And three years later it can be harvested to build buildings like this. It's as strong and dense as teak. And it will hold up any roof. When the architects came, they brought us these things, and you've probably seen things like this. The yellow box was called the administration complex. (Laughter) We squashed it, we rethought it, but mainly we renamed it -- the heart of school. And that changed everything forever. It's a double helix. It has administrators in it and many, many other things. And the problem of building it -- when the Balinese workers saw long reams of plans, they looked at them and said, "What's this?

So we built big models. We had them engineered by the engineers. And Balinese carpenters like this measured them with their bamboo rulers, selected the bamboo and built the buildings using age-old techniques, mostly by hand. It was chaos. And the Balinese carpenters want to be as modern as we do, so they use metal scaffolding to build the bamboo building. And when the scaffolding came down, we realized that we had a cathedral, a cathedral to green, and a cathedral green education. The heart of school has seven kilometers of bamboo in it. From the time the foundations were finished, in three months it had roofs and floors. It may not be the biggest bamboo building in the world, but many people believe that it's the most beautiful. Is this doable in your community?

We believe it is. Green School is a model we built for the world. It's a model we built for Bali. And you just have to follow these simple, simple rules: be local, let the environment lead and think about how your grandchildren might build. So, Mr. Gore, thank you.

You ruined my life, but you gave me an incredible future. And if you're interested in being involved in finishing Green School and building the next 50 around the world, please come and see us. Thank you.

(Applause)

Puis elle m'a emmené voir un film que je ne voulais vraiment pas voir. それから彼女は私を本当に見たくない映画を見に連れて行ってくれました。 It ruined my life -- (Laughter) "An Inconvenient Truth" and Mr. Gore. Ça a ruiné ma vie -- (Rires) "Une Vérité Qui Dérange" et M. Gore. それは私の人生を台無しにしました-（笑い）「不便な真実」とゴアさん。 I have four kids, and even if part of what he says is true, they’re not going to have the life that I had. I have four kids, and even if part of what he says is true, they're not going to have the life that I had. J'ai quatre enfants, et même si une partie de ce qu'il dit est vrai, ils n'auront pas la vie que j'ai eue. 私には4人の子供がいます、そして彼の言うことの一部が真実であるとしても、彼らは私が持っていた人生を送るつもりはありません。 У мене четверо дітей, і навіть якщо частина з того, що він каже, правда, у них не буде такого життя, яке було у мене. And I decided at that moment that I would spend the rest of my life doing whatever I could to improve their possibilities. And I decided at that moment that I would spend the rest of my life doing whatever I could to improve their possibilities. Et j'ai décidé à ce moment-là que je passerais le reste de ma vie à faire tout ce que je pouvais pour améliorer leurs possibilités. І в той момент я вирішив, що проведу решту свого життя, роблячи все, що в моїх силах, щоб покращити їхні можливості. So here’s the world, and here we are in Bali. Alors voici le monde, et nous sommes ici à Bali. It’s a tiny, little island -- 60 miles by 90 miles. It has an intact Hindu culture. |||無傷の|| 它拥有完整的印度教文化。 Cynthia and I were there. We had had a wonderful life there, and we decided to do something unusual. 私たちはそこで素晴らしい生活を送っていたので、何か変わったことをすることにしました。 We decided to give back locally. Nous avons décidé de redonner localement. Мы решили вернуться на место. Ми вирішили віддячити локально. 我们决定退回本地。 And here it is; it’s called the Green School. Et le voici ; ça s'appelle l'École Verte.

I know it doesn’t look like a school, but it is something we decided to do, and it is extremely, extremely green. Je sais que ça ne ressemble pas à une école, mais c'est quelque chose que nous avons décidé de faire, et c'est extrêmement, extrêmement vert. 学校のようには見えませんが、私たちがやろうと決心したことで、非常に緑がかっています。 The classrooms have no walls. The teacher is writing on a bamboo blackboard. |||||||quadro negro The desks are not square. 桌子不是方形的。 At Green School, the children are smiling -- an unusual thing for school, especially for me. グリーンスクールでは、子供たちが笑っています。学校にとって、特に私にとっては珍しいことです。 And we practice holism. |||holisme |||全体論 |||holismo І ми практикуємо холізм. And for me it’s just the idea that, if this little girl graduates as a whole person, chances are she’ll demand a whole world -- a whole world -- to live on. Et pour moi, c'est juste l'idée que, si cette petite fille obtient son diplôme en tant que personne entière, il y a des chances qu'elle exige un monde entier -- un monde entier -- pour vivre. І для мене це просто ідея, що якщо ця маленька дівчинка закінчить школу цілісною особистістю, то, швидше за все, їй знадобиться цілий світ - цілий світ - для життя. 对我来说，这只是一个想法，如果这个小女孩作为一个完整的人毕业，她很可能会要求一个完整的世界——一个完整的世界——来继续生活。 Our children spend 181 days going to school in a box. Nos enfants passent 181 jours à aller à l'école dans une boîte. Наші діти проводять 181 день, ходячи до школи в коробці. 我们的孩子在一个盒子里上学 181 天。 The people that built my school also built the prison and the insane asylum out of the same materials. Les personnes qui ont construit mon école ont également construit la prison et l'asile d'aliénés avec les mêmes matériaux. 私の学校を建てた人々も、同じ材料で刑務所と精神病院を建てました。 Люди, построившие мою школу, также построили тюрьму и сумасшедший дом из тех же материалов. So if this gentleman had have had a holistic education, would he be sitting there? それで、この紳士がホリスティック教育を受けていたら、彼はそこに座っているでしょうか？ Итак, если бы у этого джентльмена было целостное образование, он бы сидел там? 那么，如果这位先生接受过全人教育，他会坐在那里吗？ Would he have had more possibilities in his life? 彼は彼の人生にもっと多くの可能性を持っていただろうか？ The classrooms have natural light.

They’re beautiful. They’re bamboo. The breeze passes through them. And when the natural breeze isn’t enough, the kids deploy bubbles, but not the kind of bubbles you know. |||||||||展開する||||||||| |||||||||soltam||||||||| Et quand la brise naturelle ne suffit pas, les enfants déploient des bulles, mais pas le genre de bulles que vous connaissez. These bubbles are made from natural cotton and rubber from the rubber tree. ||||||||borracha|||| Ces bulles sont faites de coton naturel et de caoutchouc provenant de l'arbre à caoutchouc. これらの泡は、天然綿とゴムの木のゴムから作られています。 So we basically turned the box into a bubble. Donc, nous avons essentiellement transformé la boîte en une bulle. Поэтому мы в основном превратили коробку в пузырь. 所以我们基本上把盒子变成了一个泡泡。 And these kids know that painless climate control may not be part of their future. Et ces enfants savent que le contrôle climatique sans douleur ne fera peut-être pas partie de leur avenir. そして、これらの子供たちは、痛みのない気候制御が彼らの将来の一部ではないかもしれないことを知っています。这些孩子知道无痛气候控制可能不会成为他们未来的一部分。 We pay the bill at the end of the month, but the people that are really going to pay the bill are our grandchildren. |||||||||||||||||||||||nossos netos Nous payons la facture à la fin du mois, mais les personnes qui vont vraiment payer la facture, ce sont nos petits-enfants. 月末に支払いますが、実際に支払うのは孫です。 Ми сплачуємо рахунки в кінці місяця, але люди, які дійсно збираються оплачувати рахунки, - це наші онуки. We have to teach the kids that the world is not indestructible. |||||||||||壊れない Nous devons apprendre aux enfants que le monde n'est pas indestructible. These kids did a little graffiti on their desks, and then they signed up for two extra courses. |||||落書き|||||||||||| Эти дети сделали небольшие надписи на своих столах, а затем они подписались на два дополнительных курса. The first one was called sanding, and the second one was called re-waxing. |||||ponçage|||||||| |||||lixamento||||||||enceramento Первый из них назывался шлифованием, а второй - повторным воском. But since that happened, they own those desks. Але відтоді, як це сталося, вони володіють цими столами. They know they can control their world. We’re on the grid; we’re not proud of it. |||グリッド上||||| ||||||orgulhosos|| Nous sommes connectés au réseau; nous n'en sommes pas fiers. 私たちはグリッド上にいます。私たちはそれを誇りに思っていません。 Мы в сети; мы не гордимся этим. Ми в сітці, ми не пишаємося цим.

but an amazing alternative energy company in Paris is taking us off the grid with solar. Mais une incroyable entreprise d'énergie alternative à Paris nous déconnecte du réseau avec le solaire. しかし、パリの驚くべき代替エネルギー会社は、私たちを太陽光発電でグリッドから外しています。 And this thing is the second vortex to be built in the world, in a two and a half meter drop on a river. ||||||vortex||||||||||||||||| ||||||渦巻き||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||altura de|||| Et cette chose est le deuxième vortex à être construit dans le monde, dans une chute de deux mètres et demi sur une rivière.

Combien de personnes multiplié par combien d'eau. There isn’t enough water. These are compost toilets. ||堆肥| Это компостные туалеты. And nobody at the school wanted to know about them, especially the principal. そして、学校の誰も、特に校長について、彼らについて知りたがりませんでした。 And they work; people use them. People are okay. It’s something you should think about doing. Not many things didn’t work. 没有很多事情不起作用。 The beautiful canvas and rubber skylights got eaten by the sun in six months. ||tela bonita|||claraboias|||||||| 美しい帆布とゴム製の天窓は、6か月で太陽に食べられました。 Прекрасное полотно и резиновые световые люки съели солнце через полгода.

I met a father the other day, he looked a little crazed. |||||||||||desvairado J'ai rencontré un père l'autre jour, il avait l'air un peu fou. I said, "Welcome to Green School." J'ai dit : "Bienvenue à l'École Verte." He said, "I’ve been on an airplane for 24 hours." Il a dit : "J'ai été dans un avion pendant 24 heures." Він сказав: "Я провів у літаку 24 години". I asked him, "Why?" He said, "I had a dream once about a green school, and I saw a picture of this green school, I got on an airplane. Il a dit : "J'ai eu un rêve autrefois au sujet d'une école verte, et j'ai vu une image de cette école verte, je suis monté dans un avion. In August I’m bringing my sons." En août, j'emmène mes fils." This was a great thing. C'était une grande chose. But more than that, people are building green houses around Green School, so their kids can walk to school on the paths. しかしそれ以上に、人々はグリーンスクールの周りにグリーンハウスを建てているので、子供たちは小道を歩いて学校に行くことができます。 And people are bringing their green industries, hopefully their green restaurants, to the Green School. |||||||期待して||||||| そして人々は彼らのグリーン産業、できれば彼らのグリーンレストランをグリーンスクールに持ち込んでいます。人们正在将他们的绿色产业，希望是他们的绿色餐厅，带到绿色学校。 It’s becoming a community.

Мы создали их инженерами. 我们让他们由工程师设计。 And Balinese carpenters like this measured them with their bamboo rulers, selected the bamboo and built the buildings using age-old techniques, mostly by hand. ||||||||||régua de bambu|||||||||||||| 像这样的巴厘岛木匠用他们的竹尺测量它们，选择竹子并使用古老的技术建造建筑物，主要是手工。 It was chaos. ||混沌 And the Balinese carpenters want to be as modern as we do, so they use metal scaffolding to build the bamboo building. ||||||||||||||||足場||||| ||||||||||||||||andaimes de metal||||| 而巴厘岛的木匠想要像我们一样现代，所以他们使用金属脚手架来建造竹楼。 And when the scaffolding came down, we realized that we had a cathedral, a cathedral to green, and a cathedral green education. 当脚手架倒下时，我们意识到我们有一座大教堂，一座绿色大教堂，一座大教堂绿色教育。 The heart of school has seven kilometers of bamboo in it. В сердце школы есть семь километров бамбука.

We believe it is. Green School is a model we built for the world. It’s a model we built for Bali. And you just have to follow these simple, simple rules: be local, let the environment lead and think about how your grandchildren might build. |||||||||||地元の|||||||||||| So, Mr. Gore, thank you.
