An idea to involve students in compensation measures for CO2 emissions produced by Baltinava Secondary School boiler house was explored to promote thinking about possibilities for a small country school to become an active participant in National Action Plan Agenda 21. A Systems Dynamics approach was used to evaluate the validity of proposed policy. Results showed that ecological efficiency, if the policy implemented, would be unsatisfactory for CO2 emissions reductions, however student’s education will bring social gains.
