The Eco Team decided to try to reduce school paper consumption by 10%, particularly targeting the amount of photocopying and printing carried out by the teaching staff. Two Eco Team members made a presentation to the Secondary Team during a staff meeting complete with informative powerpoint slides, suggesting how and where improvements could be made and alternatives to current practices.
Activiteit/evenement
Paper reduction
- Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Share the presentation to the school as a whole, teachers, support staff and students to encourage and provide tips to the school community as whole to reduce paper consumption. We have found that our students are quite often ahead of their teachers when it comes to technology and our students were able to inform our teachers about when sharing a document was a better option than simply printing it. Posters around the photocopier helped as a reminder of our mission.
