my school enviroment plan

        My aim for this plan is to reduce the amount of litter lying about the school.

        I did some surveys and found out that the most litter is outside the two canteens [upper and lower] and I think these are because of the lack of bins around school. So I think that in both canteens we should have more bins outside and inside them, maybe also stop using disposable plates and cutlery but then there would be the washing up after and dishwashers cost money. The only people really who can stop litter in or near the canteens is the students.

        In classrooms we can do a lot of things to make our school greener. For instance every classroom should have a recycling bin for paper as well as a normal bin for litter. Also to save energy we should make sure we turn off the lights in unused classrooms and in the summer instead of using fans to cool our selves down with should just open the windows. Just doing little things like that is a big start in helping the environment.

        I know at the moment some students who get after school detentions have to go round and pick up all the litter and I think that is a good idea but really the students shouldn’t drop litter in the first place. As before the main reason is the lack of bins so in each area around school I think there should be at least be 3-4 bins. Also if any teachers see anyone dropping litter or food they should give them a detention, I know it sounds a bit unfair but it will help them learn.

        If nothing is done about these problems the school will be a smelly, dirty place where no one would want to learn in. If it got so bad there is the possibility of the school closing down. I hope you have taken my views seriously really we need to be doing all we can to save the planet.
