There are dozens of small things you can do every day to save energy and keep the world cleaner and greener.

 

Home

  • Shut off the water when you brush their teeth
  • Walk, ride a bike or take the bus instead of traveling by car
  • Take faster showers or baths in just a small amount of water
  • Hang clothes on a line instead of putting them in the dryer
  • Choose products that are not over packaged

School

  • Turn off lights in rooms/halls when not in use.
  • Plant trees to shade or wind barriers.
  • Make “how to” videos about conservation.
  • Use the announcements to share conservation ideas.
  • Make posters to educate students, parents, teachers, etc. about conservation.
  • Turn off the water when you are done washing your hands.
  • Keep exterior doors closed to maintain building temperature.
  • Turn off computers/equipment when not in use.
  • Try to “go paperless” in your classroom.  Put assignments on the board, use whiteboards or other things to show knowledge instead of a worksheet.
  • Share classroom newsletters, etc. via email or website instead of copying them on paper.
