Stopping Pollution In School

by Noel on September 15th, 2008

It does not mean that when you are in school, there is nothing that you can do to help out stop adding to pollution. After all, it is already the National Pollution Prevention Week. As in our previous post Stopping Pollution Ala US EPA, we have already tackled just what you can do to help stop pollution when you are at home. Now, let us go with what we all could do if we were in school. Read on.

• Help start a recycling program.
• Perform a waste audit at your school.
• Use only recycled paper and other recycled products.
• Maintain heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other energy using equipment, to reduce the amount of energy used.
• Install energy efficient lighting.
• Start an Eco-Club or form a pollution prevention team.

Now whoever said that students could not actually do much is really very wrong. In fact, it can be seen that the younger they are, the more ideas they have, the better they can help in this campaign if they are briefed really well.
