What our school does to help sustain the enviornment
Certain grades in our school actively support a charity called the Greenearth Foundation. This charity helps former illegal loggers become farmers; thus helping people, and helping the environment. The students run food sales to raise funds, and are planning a field trip to visit the land they helped develop. Our students also recycle paper, tetra packs, bottle caps, and soda tabs; some for selling/donating, and some for reuse.
According to our school's head of finance, those who work in operations sometimes practice what is called telecommuting. This means these people don't have to go into work, and can work from home. This saves gas, thus reducing that person's carbon footprint. Our offices also recycle used paper, with the exception of those with certain info already printed on them. Our school also tries to prolong non biodegradable items' use, and we try to use more environment friendly products (ex. insecticides).

Our school is also working to promote recycling. I find the concept of telecommuting very interesting, but realistically there are maybe 5 people around campus who could actually work from home.
