What you can do to reduce
your carbon footprint
In our Comenius Project
2012-2014 we worked with
the following schools:
École Fondamentale Libre de
Chênée (Liège), Belgium
Hauptschule an der Toni, Munich
Germany
Instituto Magistrale ‘Mazzini’,
Locri, Calabria, Italy
Primary and Secondary School
‘Konstantin Konstantinov’, Sliven,
Bulgaria
On the way with
Mr Greenplanet
• to lower the power of the
heating system in warm weather
and during the holidays.
‘We have not
inherited the Earth
from our Ancestors;
we have borrowed it
from our Children”
Reducing our school’s
global footprint
• To lower the use of
electricity we will ask our students
to turn off the computers and to
switch off the lights.
• To save paper we will use
computer based tasks in class and
will use photocopies occasionally.
• We will use recycled paper.
• We will take part in the
national campaign “ Let`s clean
Bulgaria in one day”
• We will adopt a bee family.
• Our students will use.
• We will establish garbage
collectors for separate collection
of paper and plastic bags and
bottles in classrooms at school.

2. What we did to reduce
our carbon footprint
What effect did we haveOur starting point
• We turned off the
computers and switched off
the lights .
• We used less electricity in
warm weather.
• We had computer based
tasks in class and used
photocopies occasionally.
• We took part in the national
campaign “ Let`s clean
Bulgaria in one day.
• We established garbage
collectors for separate
collection of paper and plastic
bags and bottles at
school.
• We considerably reduced
the consumption of heating
power and electricity.
• At home we use less
water and tried to buy
more local food.
• We reduced the
consumption of paper.
• We reduced the use of
plastic bags and bottles.
To calculate the amoun ot our Carbon
Footprint we used the data collected in
March, 2013.
Our school building has an
area of about 4000 m2
and is dairy used by
65 teachers and 838 students
Heating
Annual energy consumption 99 369
KWh=27425 кg СО2
Possible reduce:
99369 kWh = 27425.8 kg СО2
Electricity
Annual consumption
5440 KWh=3 128 кg СО2
Possible reduce:
5 440 kWh = 3 128 kg СО2
Water
Annual consumption of water
207 м3
= 9.693 кg СО2
Possible reduce:
207m3
= 9, 69 kg СО2
• We adopted a bee family.
Carbage
Annual amount of garabage
6,72 m3
/ год. 1344 кг =552,38kg СО2
Possible reduce:
6,72 m3
/ год. 1344 кг =552,38kg СО2
