right, so here I go. I'm thinking of writing to the council and the school to get some things changed so as to help the environment. However I want to know what you think of this, and some topics that could be covered in said letter, and some suggested solutions. possible topics: get wheely waste bins for kitchen waste for houses (so to get rid of bin bags and stuff). Have more recycling bins in town. shops give money for empty plastic bottles (as in Germany, etc..) people, please give me your ideas and opinions Peoples suggestions: Turn off unused computers in schools, so you dont waste electricity Turn off lights in summer when unnecessary Turn off air conditioning when the windows are open Turn off projectors |

How about suggesting that schools turn off computers and other devices after school and when they are not being used. They waste stupid amounts of electricity. |

I totaly agree with that . that also annoys me because it only takes about 2 minutes to start one up. I can understand in the ict rooms (not during lunch though), but not everywhere else.

proble with tyhe bins and houshold wast, they would need to be in the hous for people to use them so they would need to be small, and then they would have to be cleaned each week as using bags would be a wast and peiopel are too lazy to do that. we need to get people doing that!!!! I would like to help with the letter . the admins at school can esaly tell the pc's to hibanate or atlest turn off the monntors after 20minutes ove non-use. The lights thing also realy anoys me, they just arnt needed some times.

ive talked to them already about the PCs and they said the pcs took too long to start up so they had to leave them on. Poor excuse when they take minutes. Also another idea is energy saving lights - they have some in the science block and some in the tech block that I know of. A petition, personally I woulnt recommend because you dont need it yet. (I talked to mr coates about this) petitions are really for when they say No and you need to show them people want something changed, for all you know they could say yes this time so a petition may feel like youre being a bit umm whats the word... Uncooperative. something like that. Also usable blinds would be a plus. |

It is the sort of thing that everyone probably has an opinion on. If Shoes is happy to move it then it will be moved. |

well we all make them. Another thing we could do would be to turn off projectors when not in uses althow a fair number of teacher do do this as the more you use it the shorther the life it will lead (the balb dosn't last for ever) |
