Examples from Other School "Green Program"

An official launch for "Scholl Green" project  

Students are collecting and sorting used mineral bottles to be recycle.

Example of the recycle bins located at the school.

GO 3R's !!

WE LIKE 3R's !!

We like 3R's because it can save and preserve our environment. It is very important for us to maintain a good environment for our sake of generation and healthy living style.

Introduction To 3R's

The 3R’s of reduce, reuse and recycle have been considered to be a base of environmental awareness and a way of promoting ecological balance through conscious behaviour and choices. It is generally accepted that these patterns of behaviour and consumer choices will lead to savings in materials and energy which will benefit the environment.

RECYCLE

RECYCLE

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

By recycling, we keep our homes and our world clean and reduce the need for trash pits.

Recycling is good for the environment in a few ways. It reduces the amount of trash and garbage that needs to be disposed of in places like landfills. Products from recycled materials usually use less energy to make.Some common materials that can be recycled are paper, glass and plastics.

Often, recycling can involve craft using materialsform items like used bottles. This is excellent for creativity and means a keepsake.

REDUCE

REDUCE

When you can reduce the resources you use, it's even kinder to the environment than reusing or recycling. In addition to being better for the environment, reducing your use of resources tends to have a good effect on your personal budget. It can also produce other personal benefits -- in some cases, a more efficient or longer lasting product can save your time and effort too.

for examples:

Do you really need 4 pairs of jeans? Does the water need to run while you're getting ready to brush your teeth? In some cases, you may have good reasons for what, in other situations, might be a wasteful use of resources. But it's helpful to stop to consider what really has value to you.

• use regular washable plates rather than paper (used once, disposed, then another is needed)
• don't run the water the whole time while you're brushing your teeth
• use lower energy light bulbs
• use energy efficient appliances
• use water saving showerheads
• don't run the sprinkler system when it's raining
• turn off the lights, radio, tv, etc. when you leave the room

REUSE

REUSE

* To reuse is to use an item more than once. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function, and new-life reuse where it is used for a different function. In contrast, recycling is the breaking down of the used item into raw materials which are used to make new items. By taking useful products and exchanging them, without reprocessing, reuse help save time, money, energy, and resources. In broader economic terms, reuse offers quality products to people and organizations with limited means, while generating jobs and business activity that contribute to the economy.Historically, financial motivation was one of the main drivers of reuse. In the developing world this driver can lead to very high levels of reuse, however rising wages and consequent consumer demand for the convenience of disposable products has made the reuse of low value items such as packaging uneconomic in richer countries, leading to the demise of many reuse programs. Current environmental awareness is gradually changing attitudes and regulations, such as the new packaging regulations, are gradually beginning to reverse the situation.


One example of conventional reuse is the doorstep delivery of milk in refillable bottles; other examples include the retreading of tires and the use of returnable/reusable plastic boxes, shipping containers, instead of single-use corrugated fiberboard boxes.
