He wishes that his school thought more about the learning environments students spend the majority of their time in, like the cafeterias, gym facilities, dorms, and classrooms. Sam is familiar with basic environmental best practices and considers the changes necessary to be fairly easy. Blissfully unaware of the costs, Sam is quick to suggest things like “solar everything” and automated parking garages.
