The founders of the Calgary International Pre-School (CIPS) are strong believers in the Bright Green environmental movement. Which is an ideology based on the belief that the union of technological change and social innovation provides the most successful path to sustainable development. Bright Green environmentalism aims to provide prosperity in an ecologically sustainable way through the union of the new technologies, improved environmental design, and global citizenship. The combination of well-built communities, new technologies and sustainable living practices, can actually improve the quality of life even while ecological footprints shrink.
