WHAT WE DO FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN OUR SCHOOL Ecole de la Soie
Décines 2013 2014France
Our new school
Since November 2013, we have a re-
built school, everything is new :
classes, gymnasium, and a self –service
canteen.
Our school is highly insulated which
leads to spare a lot of the energy used for the heating and
cooling of the building.
An Eco-Aware school
We are using a wood-pellet-fuelled-boiler.
We have a dual-flow ventilation which naturally regulates the temperature inside our school.
At the canteen
We are sorting the rubbish every day at school in order to contribute to the protection of our environment, this is one of the new things we can do since we have our new self-service restaurant.
Waste sortingWe put the
organic waste in a bin, the meat or fish
waste,and the paper, or
plastic , or aluminium wraps into
another bin. We don’t have
many kind of rubbishes at the canteen.
Recycling
We used to collect
batteries and ink cartridges to take them
to the recycling
centre and make sure
nobody would throw these
wastes in the regular bin.
?
What can we improve now ?
Composting?
Now that we have a self
service canteen and sort the wastes , we
would like to gather the
organic waste in a compost bin,
we could produce a natural fertilizer
for the plantations we have at school.
Season plantation?
Now each class has its own garden
square in order to have
its own planting. We
would love to raise fruits or vegetables of each season
and avoid polluting
transports.
