Current Projects
We are currently working with a company called "Terracycle", which is a company that collects waste from schools and then recycles it, giving certain charities money. All writing instruments that are not wanted by people may be passed on to the Eco council. All donations of pens will be appreciated and will be sent off.

A Green Google?
Or more accurately - a BLACK google! - Use Blackle and turn the lights off on your webpage today. Fellow Blogger EcoIron told us ... "An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display while an all black page uses only 59 watts" EcoIron then did a little bit of maths to work out exactly how much energy would be saved if we all converted to Blackle: "Assuming that users run Google in full screen modewm the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global saving of 8.3 megawatt-hours per day and about 3000 megawatts per year." EcoIron then goes on to tell us that ... "By just changing a few colours or switching to Blackle, you'd be saving $75,000 an hour globally!" This is about £45,993.91!! Turning Eco saves money - not just the Earth so go Blackle TODAY!
