The Green Party of Ontario says it will offer loans to school boards to help finance the construction of renewable energy projects.

Leader Frank de Jong is calling on all Ontario schools to participate in green energy production.

De Jong says schools that generate their own solar and wind power will benefit environmentally and financially.

He says it also poses a valuable educational opportunity.

De Jong visited a Toronto high school recently that has already started generating its own power using solar panels and wind turbines.
