Eco schools at Nottingham High School aims to encourage everyone to take swift action against damage to the environment. We wish then to help involve the wider community, and use exciting activities within the school to bring our policies into effect .
To do this, we are conducting a brief review of the school to highlight how well the school is already doing, but also point out areas which the school can improve upon.
Our main policies are:
To dramatically drop the amount of electricity being used for lighting, and to power our numerous ICT facilities.
To reduce the amount of litter that our school produces daily; we wish to recycle any waste paper, as well as cans, and other recyclable products.
To make the Junior School, and Lovell House an equal part in the development of Eco Schools, as the project will only be successful, if every individual cooperates.
We will be collecting the ASDA go green for schools vouchers until June 30th. please help out by taking your own plastic bags to ASDA or by purchasing bags for life.
So far we have been very sucessful in getting people interested and have had a good turn out at all of our meetings. recently we have split the eco representatives, into four main groups; there is a group working on the new sixth form building and dining hall, a group working on transport and travel with the girls high school, a group working on waste and a group working on electricity and water. We aim to do things such as buy recycling boxes for classrooms and to reduce the number of cars travelling to and from school every day.
finally we would like to say thank you to Josh Hayes for his support and for helping to publicise eco schools. we would also like to say thanks to the sixth formers who have taken on the job of running the four seperate groups. Thanks to Mrs Poole and Mr A Martin, for attending meetings and putting forward all of our ideas.
Ben Hollis and Matt Green, eco schools committee chairmen.
