Windows are strategically placed and adjustable modulate sunlight; solar panels generate electricity. \u003cbr/\u003e              Rainwater is captured; wastewater is filtered and reused. Greenhouse areas are used to grow food. \u003cbr/\u003e              10-year-old Ema Piccirilli approves of the new building's eco-friendly credentials. \"The school takes care of the environment,\" she says. \u003cbr/\u003e              The building is not connected to the national electricity grid or water mains, rainwater is collected on the roof and stored in tanks. \u003cbr/\u003e              The education is different too, in addition to numeracy and literacy, the seventy students learn science by growing plants and studying their own school. \u003cbr/\u003e              Ema's mother, Patricia Vidal supports the ecological initiative.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"This is going to encourage all the kids. She (Ema) knows everything about it. You ask her and she explains how the school will be heated, how the environment is going to be.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Head teacher Karina Cando says it was a step into the unknown, but well worth the risk. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"We took the risk by doing new things and today I am very proud to have bet on this, like all the teaching team of school number 12. We are happy.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Teacher Silvana Vivas is fully committed to the project. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"The truth that being in this environment, we are privileged, being surrounded by nature and giving practice in the same nature will be a teaching practice instead of theoretical and that will be very inspiring and refreshing for everyone, for the whole community.\" \u003cbr/\u003e              The region has a wide range of temperatures from to 3°C in winter to 30°C in spring, but the building has no heating nor air conditioning system, as the building generates its own electrical energy through solar panels and its situation allows it to take advantage of the most of the sun's rays throughout the year to maintain a stable temperature between 18°C and 25°C inside. \u003cbr/\u003e              This is the second sustainable school designed by Michael Reynolds' team in South America, after a school in Uruguay was inaugurated in 2016. The architect had already inaugurated sustainable houses in Patagonia in 2014.\u003cbr/\u003e              Reynolds, icon of ecological construction, was featured in the documentary \"Garbage Warrior\" by director Oliver Hodge, released in 2007. The architect settled in the desert of Taos, in New Mexico, in 1978 to start an experimental project and build housing that wouldn't negatively impact the planet, based on the idea of the \"earthships\".\u003cbr/\u003e              Tagma is the Uruguayan NGO that facilitated the building of school in Argentina. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"Water collection, water treatment, food production, generation of renewable energies, passive climatic conditioning of the building and inclusion in the building of recyclable materials are what makes it a building that can exist independently and, at the same time, it is a constructive methodology that develops in a very short time or at least has the potential to do so,\" explains Tagma president, Martin Esposito.\u003cbr/\u003e              Several private companies sponsored the school, at a cost of 450 thousand US dollars. Over 400 volunteers from all around the world worked on the building's construction over the past 45 days.\u003cbr/\u003e              Ema Piccirilli, who has helped together with all her classmates during the school construction, says the adults will now follow the children's example and take better care of their environment in future. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"We have worked hard to achieve this.
