The document outlines various waste and litter management initiatives at Scoil Mhuire school. It discusses how each classroom has a litter cleaning rota to keep the school grounds litter-free. It also details how the school separates its waste into recyclables, compostables, and general bins. Non-recyclable lunch waste is brought home and the school encourages reusable lunchboxes. The school recycles various materials and participates in clothing recycling programs. Photocopying is now mostly double-sided to reduce paper usage since interactive whiteboards were installed. The school previously composted food waste but is replacing their composters with Green Cones that can decompose cooked foods.

Waun Wen Primary School won the bronze award from the Swansea Sustainable Schools scheme for their commitment to environmental issues like energy and water consumption, waste reduction, and use of sustainable transportation. The school teaches students about the importance of the "5 Rs" - refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle. Students have been planting daffodil bulbs and vegetables in the school garden and learning that materials like plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. The school encourages recycling of paper, plastics, batteries, uniforms, and food waste as part of their eco-friendly practices.
Ideas for a more eco friendlyschool slide show !
1. The document proposes three eco-friendly school ideas: making a classroom recycling box to reduce waste, planting trees on the school grounds to beautify the area and reduce pollution, and replacing plastic bags in the school canteen with paper bags to eliminate harmful plastic waste.
2. The recycling box would collect paper scraps from student work to be recycled later, saving trees and protecting the environment. Planting trees would not only make the school a nicer place to study but also more environmentally friendly. Using paper bags instead of plastic bags in the canteen would reduce pollution since plastic takes a long time to decompose and harms animals.
3. Implementing these three ideas would result in a more eco-friendly

Eco friendly school by Group6
Green schools can generate cost savings through reduced water and energy use while also being environmentally friendly. Some tips to make schools more sustainable include encouraging walking to school, having teachers reduce paper usage, serving locally-sourced meals, recycling, growing vegetables, reusing old objects, saving energy by turning off lights and appliances, using natural cleaning products, and teaching lessons outside. The school can also spread awareness of eco-friendly practices to the local community through events and volunteer opportunities.
From Water For Water Italy
The document summarizes a "From water for water" project run by Italian students Maria B. and Fausto M. The students collect plastic bottle tops and send them to a factory for recycling. The proceeds from recycling the tops will be used to build 8 wells in villages in Tanzania. Collecting the plastic tops helps save the environment while providing villages in Tanzania with access to water, as currently people there must walk long distances to collect water or dig in the ground to find water. A photo shows children in Tanzania carrying large amounts of water from a new well back to their village.
Rainwater harvesting
Collecting rainwater is important because water resources are becoming more scarce. We currently use drinking water for many activities like washing, gardening, and flushing toilets that do not require potable water. This overuse is degrading groundwater supplies. Rainwater harvesting is an ancient practice that is becoming more common again as a way to supplement water sources during drier times. One easy way to collect rainwater is through rooftop harvesting - collecting rainwater on rooftops and storing it for outdoor use. Rainwater is pure and free of chemicals, so it is suitable for watering plants and gardens as well as other household uses like washing windows and cars. Collecting rainwater can help fulfill multiple needs while
Energy Conservation Project
This document summarizes a study on reusing plastic bags to save money and reduce waste. Over three weeks, the author's household reused 60 plastic bags, saving $4.20. Extrapolating to a year, reusing 960 bags would save $67.20. More significantly, reusing plastic bags over a lifetime could eliminate thousands of bags from landfills, since each reusable bag replaces an estimated 1,000 plastic bags. While the financial savings are modest, the primary benefit is reducing environmental impact by preventing plastic bags from accumulating in landfills for hundreds of years. The study had some limitations but highlights strategies for plastic bag reuse and reduction.
Sunshine dfc 2013
Sunshine School is focused on creating a greener and healthier learning environment through education and awareness about the environment.
