At most schools going green means generating less trash or making a conscientious attempt to recycle. But at Riverdale Country School, it means being encouraged to run and even jump in the hallway. Thats because last week the school became the first American venue for the specially designed Pavegen floor tiles. The tiles harness kinetic energy expanded by the kids and transform it into electricity that can be used to power classroom lights, science projects and charge electronic devices. The inaugural US installation of eight tiles near the schools student center is thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem, who managed to convince the officials to purchase them.
