I think the Library staff are the most greenest - they recycle all of their paper and make sure they turn off all of the computers in the library each night.
Mrs Arango is by far the greenest person in this school! 1) She recycles EVERYTHING 2) She turns off all computers (including monitors) and lights. 3) She doesn't make you start a new page in your book for every lesson. 4) She was recycling and recycling others to recycle BEFORE school even started promoting it.

Hi My name is Jacob Brewer and i am in 7B and I was wondering if you could do a raffle ticket compotition and the winner gets a prize and then all the money goes to making the school more eco friendly.
i think that art are the greenest department as they only let you use one paper towl even if your hands are soking wet also it tink that we should learn about why we should recycle in pds! Aamir Mir 9Y
MR SAGE he has solar opanels on his house and he catches bus to school to help the environment and he always gone at his form to be greener and he always says the weekly eco tip
I think the more pressing issue, is who is not the greenest department? The huge amount of paper that gets printed off within humanites seems so ironic as these are the people teaching us about climate change. Similarly all the trips abroad, With avation emissions acounting for 13% of the UK's contribution to climate change and the fastest growing source of carbon emissions why does the school continue to insist on flying? Some subjects such as geography have mandatory trips, why choose places such as Spain when the UK offers more than enough oppertunities. The up coming skiing trip and all the language exchanges,use flight as a means of transport. Trains are a much cleaner, greener way to travel and if needed, run right through Europe. No matter how good paper recycling and light switiching off is, its the big steps that will really tackle climate change and can make us proud of having an eco status.
In respect to Imogen's post 30 Jan - although I do agree with her on principle I think that the school is improving it's stand on the green front and there is still a long way that we can go. However, in terms of the trips it is an essential part of students development as well as their education. If we stopped all trips abroad then it would limit the opportunities for a lot of our students and change their educational experience. There are only a handful of trips that use planes on the whole most trips are via train or coach. Rather than put a stop to these can we not look at ways to offset these trips?

ReplyDeleteICT recycle all their paper, but they use loads of power for the PC and never turn them off between lessons !
ReplyDeleteMaths, they never use heating or air con, they always turn the PC's off
