What can you implement now? en-us 2016-11-02 03:26:08 UTC 2020-01-13 23:55:53 UTC hello@padlet.com Small steps will make a big difference collectively - turning switches off isn't difficult... fcrouch https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430296245 2020-01-11 02:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430296245 https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430297102 Hard hitting stuff like this is what makes it real for us. We cant hide away from the reality and this really helped bring it home]]> 2020-01-11 02:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430297102 Staff Clothing mrcornes https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430297115 If staff (in particular male staff) were encouraged to wear warm-weather appropriate clothing e.g shorts, polo shirts, breathable footwear etc then I'm sure we would be less inclined to feel the need for AC and be more comfortable taking public transport, walking up / down the hill when commuting. This is a very small intervention that could make a BIG ]]> 2020-01-11 02:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430297115 The final quote about change being inevitable but whether it's from design or disaster was a powerful truth. It applies to all aspects of life.

More bins with labels]]> 2020-01-11 04:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430305929 MaD Week https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430305993 Good suggestion to think locally or in the region to reduce our carbon footprint

The group could meet when other focus groups are meeting and could help remind/promote dept members of daily sustainability practices (lights, aircon, etc) https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430309835 2020-01-11 04:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430309835 Ecosia https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430310008 Using it myself and encouraging my students to use it.

I try to keep the windows open, curtains up and lights off when I can. 
We should strive to have a compost for food waste - thanks!

Loved the presentation - very thought provoking... ebannerman https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430551316 2020-01-13 00:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430551316 Yes, small steps can make a big difference ! Keeping this in mind, can we encourage staff to organise carpools/ride-shares to get to school? https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588351 2020-01-13 03:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588351 Ecosia looks fab and I will definitely be more conscious of the lights & electricity having seen the figures! Could we have more recycling bins in classrooms and offices please? https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588515 2020-01-13 03:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588515 I will switch to Ecosia and will further encourage students to recycle. I already try my best to keep lights and AC off although this is a running battle with students (and other teachers) at times. This habit needs to be broken. taita1_1 https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588706 2020-01-13 03:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430588706 Staff room https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430590581 The cleaners turn the aircon on in the staffroom every day; the windows being opened would have the same effect. And on cold days the blinds could be opened for heat/light. ]]> 2020-01-13 04:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430590581 https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430590696 I will turn lights off more often when not needed. I already use natural aircon (open windows). It would be helpful to have recycling bins for metals, plastic, & glass on my floor. We only have paper at the moment. ]]> 2020-01-13 04:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430590696 Is it possible to get anti glare covering on the windows? As we often have to close the blinds because of the Sun. Would love to be able to just use sunlight in the room. https://padlet.com/parsoe1/SusCo/wish/430599860

no necessary a/c- use of natural light, minimum photocopying and kids contribute by using their exercicebooks instead
in classroom, yes please could we have other recycling bins (cans) other than just the recycling paper one.
