I’ve been doing some research at a local college about solar panels and it’s gotten me thinking about trying to get my high school to go eco-friendly. Since this is my last year, I figure it could be my gift to the school. My high school is public and it doesn’t have a huge budget, so I was thinking of sugesting small things to the super rather than going balls out with solar panels and wind turbines (like someone else I know at my old HS. Anway…)
Switching all computers hibernate after 10 minutes of being unused.
Recycling containers in the cafeteria
Have students in in-school suspension sort through recycling containers as a way to get time off of their punishments or to excuse dress code infraction for that day. (we get in big trouble for not wearing proper uniforms to school)
Install rain water tanks
At the end of the year, students and teachers save (some) paperwork to recycle.
Offer a collection for fully used/unwanted notebooks, folders, papers, empty ink cartridges , cell phones, batteries and other electronic devices.
Use napkins made from recycled paper
Used recycled notebook paper (they give us paper at the beginning of the year)
Recycle oil from cafeteria fryers
Print on both sides of the paper as much as possible.
Use recycled toilet paper and seat covers
Have electric hand dryers installed
Institute a no idle zone in parking lot for parents picking up their children or students goofing around.
Instead of turning in essays and research papers etc., offer the alternative of e-mailing them and replying back by e-mail with grade and corrections
Encourage car pools.
That’s what I have so far. Small changes that could have a big impact and not expensive.
Are there any other ways to go about it? I plan on e-mailing my superintendent a list of small changes about it. If she ignores it, then I’m thinking of starting a petition to show her people at the school really care.
I was put in charge of coming up with ideas on how to turn my school environmentally friendly. We already do conservation projects: recycling newpaper, aluminum, cell phones, ink jets, paper, and plastic bottles. We also do activities with other schools. And we plan a yearly field trip open to the school to learn how to reduce individual global impact.
Anyone have any ideas on how to increase how “Green” the school is? Such as addressing different environment issues (habitat restoration, etc) or energy/water conservation? The main problem is finding activities that will help, so to say, spread our wings and cover more environment issues.
We have already planted trees around the school district and have various recycling programs around the district for ink cartridges and cell phones. Ideas for future projects and/or fundraisers would be greatly appreciated! We need all the help we can get.
Thanks.
My Science teacher wants the students to make up a recycling program.
My Senior Project is on “Going Green,” but I am setting up a recycling center at my school. I need to promote it some how and I was thinking about making it a competition. What is a good way to set up the competition and what can the reward be?
I have just started NJHS after being accepted last year. I want to know if anyone else’s school does anything besides tutoring and recycling because I want to help my school both inside not just outside more. Any suggestions?
I really want to start a recycling club at my school. We waste so much and don’t even know it and were just adding more pollution to our planet. I’ve googled everything on how to start one but I can’t figure out how to do it in my area (CT). Any suggestions?
My high school’s recycling club needs more members. There is some heav lifting involved, as we lift boxes full of recycled paper and dump them into the recycling bin. But i can’t think of ways to get people to join.
