Green schools protect the Earth
We all have to take responsibility for protecting the environment. And this responsibility should extend to schools and their curriculums.
An average school day involves a lot of paper: handouts, exercise books, question papers and so on. But adopting environmentally friendly practices would protect the planet and give students opportunities to learn more about the environment.
E-books could be used to reduce the use of paper. But as these are still quite rare and expensive, teachers could use projectors instead of handing out materials.
Recycling is another important element in an environmentally friendly school. Schools should find out about the different sorts of bins and place them where everyone can access them - paper in the classroom, and plastic and metal in the canteen, for example. The government should help schools achieve these goals.
There are many ways to make schools more eco-friendly. And by educating young people, the next generation of adults will be more environmentally aware.
