6. Children love to use fancy stationaries.
Teachers and parents can encourage the kids to
use durable stationaries. Like shifting to
steel scales from plastic ones, using cloth
pouches and metal pencil box instead of plastic
boxes. Pens and pencils contribute to a lot of
plastic waste. Teachers and kids should start
using fountain pens which are refillable or
Plantable stationaries. Avoid the use of
glitter papers, foam sheets and non-recyclable
materials even for craft works.
Bookbinding one of the major homework for kids
in their summers. Common binding sheets are
brown sheets and transparent transluscent
plastic sheets. Both are made of plastic
instead kids could use paper based sheets for

8. Children become so enthusiastic to
decorate their classroom. Using charts,
paper and ribbons would be the best way to
decorate classroom walls. Thermocol and
foam sheets are considered to be
attractive but they cause a lot of problem
to the environment. Teachers should tell
their students to use ecofriendly
materials and provide a list of materials
to use.
I remember using thermocol and glitter
papers to decorate our classroom like the
night sky. It looked really good but now
all those materials might have ended up in

10. It is important to teach and encourage
kids to segregate waste and dispose of it
in three different bins: recyclable,
biodegradable and hazardous. Children
would try to do school activities at home.
Waste segregation is something difficult
to educate people around the world. But
when kids practice it in schools, they
would try to start segregating waste at
home. By this action, kids would easily
educate their parents and adults at home
to segregate waste. This could take care
of the major problem in waste management
Household waste segregation.

12. Many schools have set a rule for
students to bring food and water
in metal containers only. All
schools should follow such rules.
Canteens should avoid the use and
throw plates and shift to reusable
materials. Many canteens have
snacks wrapped with a thin plastic
film. Avoiding such packaging
materials would contribute to
reducing plastic waste.

16. Nowadays most of the notes in
colleges are sent in a soft copy. Why
not start sharing notes and study
materials virtually in schools. Even
conducting online test could help
save a lot of paper and enhance
computer skills in school students.
Well, many kids lack access to
computers and the internet. To
overcome that problem few schools
have distributed tablets to their
student. Technology can help us be

18. Just like the sports club, science
club and art club, schools should
have a group or a club where students
participate volunteer in conducting
green projects, plantation drives,
workshops, events and competitions
like best out of waste. These groups
should actively make teachers and
students to take up actions for eco
friendly schools. At least once a
week there should be an hour class to
create awareness among the students.

20. Installing LED lights instead of
normal lights could save a lot of
electricity in schools. It is
important that the school implements
renewable energy methods like solar
and wind energy for school needs.
Water recycling units must be
incorporated in big campuses.
Educating students about the green
methods followed in school would
encourage them to follow those methods
