Greenschooling has a nice ring to it.
As you mentioned homeschooling you may already have read it, but if not I urge you to read John Taylor Gatto's Underground History of American Education. Though he sometimes veers a little far into conspiracy speculation and libertarian perspective for my personal taste it is an amazing book- after reading it you will not think about education, and particularly compulsory public education, in the same way again. Its also interesting to look back at one's own educational experience through the lens of Gatto's book- it went a long way to helping me understand why I always felt so ripped-off by my schooling (and even more impressed and grateful to my parents for the real education they imparted to me). Keep us all posted on your progress with greenschooling!
