Our school is making a great effort to contribute to the reducement of the enviroment pollution. We have energy saving light bulbs in our classrooms, solar cells on the roof, we get heat from a waste incineration plant heating network and we separate our waste.
We are looking for other ideas to save our enviroment. What is your school doing or what is your school planing to do?
Wow! You all are really doing a great job! Heat reuse is a unique way of reducing carbon emissions in particular!So friends, we can see climate heroes among you all there!
Coming to our school, we too are involved in various activities to reduce carbon footprint.Infact we have our eco-club named "prakriti" which means Nature. This club works under two wings:
1. "Dharani", our quarterly magazine. which means Mother earth.This is a manuscript (hand written) type of magazine which includes latest updates, articles poems , eco-art etc. that are contributed by the students.
2."Prakriti Pravas", the eco-activities that are conducted in and around the school.These include awareness campaigns in neighbouring schools, nearby traffic junction, composting etc.
This apart we have come up with an eco calender that mainly deals with cabon footprint. This calender is designed for activities on weekly,monthly and yearly basis.You can refer the attached ppt named "Prakriti-our eco club"
There is one more interesting thing that we can share. We had participated in a project called 'Green - i' which mainly focused on identifying carbon footprints in our school and proposing a solution for it. We focused on issues such as solar panels to reduce power consumption and increasing the green belt in school to increase carbon sinks.
We have also worked on designing a stove called 'good stove' which works with biomass but not fossil fuel. This biomass includes specially made briquettes made out of paper waste and dry biomass which combusts completely and avoids smoke production.
