What you can do to reduce

For our Comenius Project
2012-2014 we worked with
the following schools:
Mittelschule an der Toni Pfülf,
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Instituto Magistrale ‘Mazzini’,
Locri, Calabria, Italy
Primary and Secondary School
‘Konstantin Konstantinov’,
Sliven, Bulgaria

On the way with
Mr Greenplanet
 Use a sport flask and drink
water from the tap.
Reducing our school’s
global footprint
 Eat local fruit for snack.
 Use a lunchbox and avoid
plastics and aluminium to
pack your meal.
 Sort out your waste :
paper, PMC and other.
 Switch on light and heat
when necessary only.

2. What we did to reduce
our carbon footprint
What effect did we have?
 Pupils have noticed through
school projects and the
visit of the exhibition
"Earth Planet" that our
planet was ill.
Our starting point
 x
 Children calculated the
footprint of their class
thanks to a game created
by the WWF Belgium. The
classes of our school need
339,8 m² per schoolday
(20,26 m² per pupil per
schoolday).
 Teachers juged the
footprint of the school by
analysing electricity, heat,
the water consumption and
waste. Our school obtained
a score of 189 points. A
high score in comparison of
our partners.
 We try to promote the use
of lunchboxes.
 Classes collect and sort out
paper and PMC to select
waste.
 A pupil per class has to check
wether the light is off and
the doors closed
 We make the pupils aware
of the over packing in order
to promote snack with less
packing.
 Pupils drink water from a
sport flask given by the
parents association.
 The paper container had been
vandalized. For many years, the
paper had not been separated from
the other garbage. This project
allowed us to do it again.
 Thanks to the flask given by the
parents association and to a
campaign, many pupils drink tap
water.
 A duty "electricity" and "heating"
was given to a child in each
classroom. This child is responsible
for making sure that the lights and
the heaters are not turned on when
it's not necessary.
 We have to keep reducing the
packaging by encouraging the use of
the lunch box, localfruits as snacks,
...
Thanks to these efforts,
our school receive a score of
59,5 points for the
schoolfootprint.
A decrease of 68 % !
The school classrooms need
an average of 976,76 m² per
schoolday (18,08 m² per
student per schoolday).
A decrease of 10,7 % !
