reduce
Our main target for waste reduction this year will be paper. In the school environment there is an obvious need to use a large amount of paper on a daily basis.We alread use 100% recycled paper in all photocopiers, but this still takes precious resources and energy to produce. There are some easy ways we can reduce this huge burden on the environment.
All handouts and classroom material must now be printed on both sides of paper. We strongly encourage staff to utilize computers whenever possible to deliver material, instead of printing paper copies. We are encouraging teachers not to print spare copies of classroom materials, and collect and reuse handouts when appropriate.
Parents are also encouraged to ensure all their school books are utililized by encouraging children to use up empty pages in last years notepads before using a new one. This will save parents money as well as the environment!
We are aiming to reduce paper use by 30% this year! Sounds ambitious? Well we believe this can be achieved if all staff and students do these few simple things. This will be monitored by the admin staff through purchasing and stocktakes, and our usage will be plotted on a graph to see how we are going at the end of each month. Check the website soon to see our progress!
