  1. Green School Project

  2. School: France Boyer De la Giroday SSS Green School Team: les fees de la nature

  3. Names of participants: • PemDhandevi • KurreemunBibiAarfah • HurnaumKarishma • RamsamyYhovina Devi Facilitators: • Biology & Physics Department & • Teachers in School Environment Club

  4. Problems observed at school: • Tap leakage • CWA bill too high • Wastage of electricity( fans, lights and computers were left on when not in use) • Accumulation of large amount of waste (mostly paper) • Few endemic and medicinal plants in school garden • Lack of environmental education among students

  5. Themes: • Efficient water use • Efficient electricity use • Waste segregation and recycling • Biodiversity Conservation • Environmental Education

  6. Priority !! Efficient water and electricity use Possible actions to be taken: • Harvesting rain water on roof and channeling it into tanks for use in toilets • Solar panels • Reparation of damaged taps • Switching off bulbs, fans, computers & AC when not in use • Sensitise whole school about reducing consumption of water and electricity

  7. Reparation of damaged taps

  8. Action planning Efficient water and electricity use Step 1: Meeting with teachers of Environment Club and Green School Team Step 2: Meeting with student Councils and Class Captains Step 3: Create awareness among all students • Pamphlets and poster competition • Film show “An Inconvenient Truth” • Assembly talk Step 4: Survey on a daily basis and monitor bills Step 5: Request administration Office and computer labs to switch off AC and computers when not in use Meeting of GS team every Tuesday to give a feedback Indicator: CEB and CWA bill

  9. Poster competition

  10. Film show and pamphlets

  11. Problems encountered during action planning: • CEB bill was not available • Students often failed to switch off lights when classes were unattended during first term

  12. Linking with curriculum: A major topic in Biology, Chemistry and General Paper Syllabus

  13. Standardising and sustaining: The above actions are being encouraged both at school and at homethrough students. To have a better indication of a change in the consumption of water and electricity, we’ll take reading from the meter reader rather than from the bill. The winning posters will be photocopied and affixed in the village of Plaine-Magnien. Eventually, we’ll try to get sponsors to help in the purchase of solar panels and the necessary equipments required for harvesting rain water.

  14. Results achieved: CWA bill has decreased from Rs 9540 to Rs 7146.

  15. COMPOSTING Steps: • Cleaning and preparation of compost bin: • Washing and holes were made for constant aeration • Branches were put at the bottom • Grass cuttings from school gardener and organic waste from bins were put in compost bin • Students were informed to bring vegetables and fruit cutting from home • Compost bin was filled with vegetable cuttings, fruit peelings, tea powder, bread, etc… • Compost bin was covered

  16. 2. Posters were designed to inform students not to throw plastics, citrus fruits which may prevent growth of the micro organisms. Bin is stirred once a week and is also filled constantly

  17. Difficulties: Not enough materials were obtained to fill the bin at once Students were throwing citrus fruits, plastic bags in the bin Manure was not obtained as they could have helped in starting the decomposition in the compost bin as it already contains micro organisms

  18. BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION Steps: • Endemic and medicinal plants were requested from forestry department • Two areas were identified: • endemic corner • medicinal corner • The selected areas were cleaned by staff members • Sponsor was obtained from Mon Desert Mon Tresor for the purchase of fence • Fencing was done around both corners • Lower secondary students were allocated specific plant that they have to maintain(one plant per two students) • Scientific names of plants will be put on cards and tagging will be done after identification of plant by forestry officer • Each student will get a plant that she will grow at home.

  19. Medicinal corner

  20. Endemic Plant corner

  21. SEGREGATION OF WASTES Steps : • 3 bins were allocated per class: • Green (organic waste) • plastic • Paper

  22. ‘green’ waste are sent for composting • Plastic will be recycled. Power plastic limited was requested to collect the plastic. No response yet obtained. • A large amount of paper accumulated in administration office has already been sent for recycling

  23. Mass collection of paper in forthcoming days

  24. Activities done on the occasion of the World Environment Day (celebrated on the 4th June at school) : • wall painting of the logo UNEP for WED 2010 • talk about the World Environment day during the assembly • Winning teams of poster competition were rewarded. • ten endemic plants sponsored by the Vanilla Crocodile Park. • further ten plants obtained from the forestry department. • One student was chosen from each class and was given a particular plant which they were asked to place in the endemic corner.
