Bioarchitecture is a building concept that is less harmful to the environment, saving even more natural resources. Therefore, its structure can be built from materials that would otherwise be discarded. This is exactly how the first 100% sustainable public school was built in Brazil. Uruguay, with tires, glass bottles, cardboard and aluminum cans. Michael Raynolds, creator of the Earthship concept, was responsible for the construction of a 270 m² building. The architect joined forces with local residents and 200 other volunteers to build the school. 60% of the materials used are recycled. Vista aérea da Escola Jaureguiberry (Divulgação)

Built with funding from a local NGO, the school opened in March 2016 and at the time had just 39 students. To this day, all students are taught how to lead a waste-free life and compost their waste. This type of teaching methodology values nature and promotes the conscious use of natural resources, helping these children to lead a life causing the least possible environmental impact.
