Top ten tips to be Eco Friendly

Our new Eco code

Update from the new Eco Committee

The St Eco Greenies have decided to revamp our old Eco Code with a new one.

The new Eco Code is –

‘To protect our world and make our school a better place’.

 Us planting trees in the school grounds

This year we have come up with a new action plan which will involve us working on these main areas; Health and Wellbeing, Biodiversity and School Grounds, Litter and Water.

So far we have planted trees within the school grounds, checked that all the taps are working within our school and carried out a survey to make sure everyone is being energy efficient.  We have also made ‘Mr Water’ to make sure everyone remembers to turn off taps and a ‘Mr Electric’ to make sure everyone remembers to turn off lights. 

To help us meet our targets, we plan to do the following activities this year;

-       organise a fundraiser for water aid

-       try to get more water butts for our school grounds

-       set up a bird club at lunch times

-       find a better home for the welly bank

-       give each class an indoor plant to care for

-       ask the RSPB to visit our school to give us advice

-       water pants inside and outside using water from the water butts

-       hold a healthy week around the time of the Olympics

-       give suggestions for healthy pack lunches

-       find out why it is so important to drink water

-       carry out weekly litter pick ups

-       take part in the communities ‘bag the bruck’

-       grow our own vegetables to use in school

There are even things you can do at home to help us become a more eco friendly community;

-       make sure you turn off lights, tvs, computers etc when they are not being used

-       try not to leave the tap running when you are brushing your teeth

-       remember to recycle

-       take any old mobile phones, batteries, envelopes and ink cartridges in to the mini – recycling centre in school

-       close doors to keep the heat in

-       try to eat healthy foods, remember to have your 5 a day and to drink plenty of water!

Thank you for helping our community to become more Eco friendly :)
