The school is a fundamental place for the child's mind to grow and prosper and for the child to be able to socialize and adhere to the environment he discovers. Beyond education, the simple fact of being a component within the institution also formulates our beliefs. Schools are a prime institution to learn about green education, in which they 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 American way of life is very different. I will compare and contrast the elementary education systems and the role of teachers, students, and the curriculum covered in Ecotopia in the United States. Additionally, I will argue that no educational system prepares young people to be truly sustainable, but that there must be an ideal way that addresses both ecotopic and American values ​​to become "greener" citizens. The idea of ​​being a “green” citizen conveys the idea of ​​living a natural life and making small but better ecological choices. Teachers induce thinking and beliefs in their students, and primary school teachers within Ecotopia illustrate the importance of freedom to act in an ecological world. There are elementary teachers in Ecotopia who specialize in certain subjects in which they aspire to have their students stimulate and engage with their own goals and interests (Callenbach 128). Although Ecotopian teachers provide oversight for the teaching of all subjects, they support the idea that their country has "moved to the biology era" in which the majority of their efforts are focused on biology ( Callenbach 126-129).

An ideal green citizen lives a normal life while making sustainable choices. However, Ecotopia and the American education systems fail to ensure that their students achieve such ideals. In an ecotopian school, students learn about the Earth but are not informed about other subjects. Conversely, in American schools, students learn all subjects but none specific to sustainable development. To prepare young people for the future, it is necessary to balance the two systems in which students are trained in all subjects with knowledge of the ecosystem. Having a well-rounded education with a specificity in sustainability, students can judge their own "green" ideals and act accordingly, allowing them to establish new solutions to unsustainable problems..
