Recycle paper, Save the forest! Recycling shows that our students like a healthy environment where they can grow up and study without fearing that in the future nature may not have anything to provide because others exploited it recklessly. Together, children and adults, we may succeed today!Tomorrow it may be too late!
Starting year 2000 our school signed up for the ECO-School International Program. Ever since, the students participated to many ecological activities with recycling emphasis. In recognition of the eco behavior, we were awarded for 4 times the INTERNATIONAL GREEN FLAG PRIZE. The motivation of the students was based on a theoretical understanding teaching them that: • 1 ton of paper is made of 2 - 3,5 tone de lemn, that is about 20 trees. Paper is made by chemical boiling of the wood cellulose fiber; • recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees; • paper is recyclable but a clerk usually dumps 55-70 kg paper per year. • paper recycling saves the forest… every ton of recycled paper saves 30.000 liters of water, the energy consumption is reduced by 25% and atmosphere pollution is reduced by 80%; • in the USA, waste paper in a year may provide heat for 5 million homes for 200 years.
