In areas ranging from the resources used in the construction of the school building to the energy used to operate them, greener schools can alleviate the overall impacts on the environment.

Children live and think in the present. Hence, it can be a challenge for some children to understand and care about long term environmental consequences. Luckily, children are at a critical age for habit formation and learning. Green practices and environmental appreciation can be incorporated directly into classroom behavior and curriculum: recycling, creating sustainable art, organising educational field trips and doing projects.

For example, the teacher can apprise the children about water scarcity and ask them to creatively think of ways to conserve water by water keep water bodies clean and so on. ]]> 2022-02-20 04:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057001897 Kylie 20201447 https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057002246 This school is going to produces generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. These individuals will carry the behavioural patterns they uptake under the auspices of Eco-Schools with them through life, in turn teaching the next generation the habits to make a difference.

One way to start the transition and build excitement for the initiative could be offering a free lunch on the last Friday of every month when students and staff bring their own reusable containers. As your school community adapts to the idea of litterless lunches, you can introduce a small discount (eg 25 cents off) to incentivize bringing reusable containers every day.

 Schools around the country are taking an interest in clean energy, putting solar panels on roofs and swapping diesel school buses for electric versions.
  But it’s not always easy for a school to go green. Here’s a look at some recent developments.
  Solar powe
In many ways, schools are a natural fit for solar power: They tend to require electricity only during the day, when the sun is shining, and they often have ample space on their roofs and grounds for solar panels.
  More than 5,500 schools across the country have installed solar power arrays to help power their buildings, the Solar Energy Industries Association said in a report last year. That’s about 5 percent of K-12 schools in the United States, and their solar capacity has almost doubled over the past three years, the report says.
   “The cost of solar power has come way down, and that’s been the No. 1 driver” of solar in schools, said Ed Gilliland of The Solar Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit that helped produce the report. “Whereas before, there tended to be a lot of small solar power arrays put up for educational purposes, schools are now embracing them as money-saving investments.”]]> 2022-02-20 08:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057097750 Amy 2020043Amy https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057112564 https://www.weareteachers.com/green-school-tips/

There are so many things you can do to make your classroom and school more green. From recycling to planting gardens to powering your school with solar panels to getting a green seal, the ideas are endless. Plus teaching students about green practices now creates a lifelong interest in saving the planet. These ideas help lay the groundwork for a green school and classroom. What will you start today?]]> 2022-02-20 08:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057112564 Agnes🐾 https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057115855 In my opinion, I think schools are rethinking packaging. Before this virus, schools are using reusable plates for students to eat at lunch time. Washing trays, cups, bowls, and utensils takes more effort to help the environment, but it will make a huge impact on the earth . Student lunches generate an excessive amount of unnecessary waste. Secondly, schools are starting a recycling club. This club can be in charge of making sure each classroom has a recycling bin and helping collect the recyclables on a weekly basis. Finally 
, I want to say schools did help with the environment. A little change goes a long way, when schools encourage and support positive environmental effects, everyone wins-students, teachers, parents, and our world.]]> 2022-02-20 08:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057115855 Gladys https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2057171567 Students and their communities can begin by focusing on environmental changes.

This might sound like we're starting off as Captain Obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many of us either don't have a recycling bin or just don't use the ones we have. The US alone throws away $11.4 billion worth of recyclable containers and packaging every year*, which suggests that recycling bins are not being used correctly. Be sure to have a recycling bin in the office for maximum green points, or start a recycling initiative where everyone has a recycling box on their desk and only one rubbish bin placed in a communal area (as opposed to rubbish bins at every station) to encourage mindfulness around how we discard waste.

I feel amazed when I see it because nowadays the material for building school are not that natural. It maybe damage to the earth. 

The initiatives of this green school is farming. Every class have a garden and each student have a field to plant some vegetables. I think it is interesting because students can eat their vegetables which are planted buy themselves. I think they  feel satisfied on it . Also, the school can encourage them to do things by themselves. Few months later, the students can manage themselves well.

I think all the school should learn from this green school

Schools can easily implement ways to save trees by finding methods to use less paper. Many students and teachers already frequently use Chromebooks and Google Classroom instead of paper for instruction. In addition, schools can give parents to sign all notice online instead of filling out paperwork.

And its the most green school I had never seen before because it was nearly complete from bamboo.

The school grows organic foods for the vegetarian school lunches. I think this is quite happy to know that a school will plant their own food for students , it is because "Eat healthy , Live healthy"!  

Instead of reading a book or just seeing pictures and learning the facts , students will get to see it happens live out there and get to feel the animals ; get to experience it with all five senses.

If every kids in the world have this kind of education , so we can have more green leaders.

Often, students and their communities can begin by focusing on environmental changes. By making pretty simple alterations, from starting a recycling club to selecting eco-friendly graduation gear, schools can impact the earth in a positive way.

Like use less paper.Schools can easily implement ways to save trees by finding methods to use less paper.

To solve the environmental pollution, we should start protect the environment now. First we should start from school. Why greens school? It is because greener school environments can improve children’s health and learning. There are some steps to green school. First we should conduct a school environmental survey or audit.
To identify priorities for action, begin with conducting a review of your school's  environmental impact. Students are involved in this work at every step, from assessing the level of waste from school lunch, to checking the building for inefficiencies such as leaky taps, or electrical equipment left on overnight. The school and the Green Team can work with local organizations, businesses, or other resource people or experts during the review. Take the "How Green is Your School Quiz" and see how you rate. Find other examples of environmental surveys and audit tools on our Resources page, under Curricula.
Besides, we should create a green school action plan. Why? It is because have an action plan will make us know about how to do.
Next, we should monitor the progress to know how is it going. It makes us easy to know do the plan needs to change or not.
Finally, we should integrate greening into the classes. Greening activities can be integrated into existing curricula in science, art, humanities, math, language arts, or electives. Using the school as a hands-on laboratory offers opportunities for real-world problem-solving. Students can undertake study of themes such as energy, water, forests, toxic pollution, and waste. I guess students will know more about green in those activities.
To cur our friends, parents and the world. Please start looking at environmental effect now.]]> 2022-02-22 15:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ao109/63ee0hmrgbbenjiz/wish/2060742006
