Part A: Some measures that deal with the education on the students

1. During IS lessons, for the syllabus of

the Integrated Science, they usually
come across the study in plants and
so, we can set up some activities for
the junior students to grow some
plants which are slow in growth but
proficient in absorbing much carbon
dioxide and giving out oxygen, the
plants then put on the roof of the There is a large area of land

grounds near the backdoor of school.
The students can visit their product
afterwards and have a memory on
them.
Reasons: The first reason is that
students can plant their own plants
for both recreational and academic
uses. Many students and parents state
that our school is lack of green

concrete. Some surveys shows that
green colour can make the people relax in both their eyes and mentality. In
addition, more plants can help develop the air quality as the surrounding is full of

roads.

2. Arrange outings (e.g. going to Mai

Po Nature Reserve, Hoi Ha Wan
Marine country parks, hiking path in
country parks, Sha Chau and Lung
Kwu Chau Marine Park, Ocean Park,
etc.) for students and to teach them

 the importance and personal concern of environmental protection and ecological
knowledge. Also, it can be a trip for tense students to relax after rigid studies.
Reasons: The examples above are all countrysides or environmental
educational areas. They are rich in living things and can be treated as a
classroom of nature.
3. Request students to switching off the
monitors after using computers in the
computer rooms and library in order to
reduce electricity consumption.
Reasons: Usually the electricity
service bill is the second highest
expenditure of schools after the salary
of staff the first. In addition, as Switching off the monitors

burning of fossil fuels which is harmful to the environment, consume less
electricity is an environmental friendly movement.

4. Encourage students to take more rides

on public transports or walk to school
so that the use of fossil fuels such as
petrol can be reduced.
Reasons: This reduces air pollution
while burning the fuels. Meanwhile,
this movement may lead to fewer cars
passing through the roads near the
school and it can reduce the chances of Traffic jams always occur

take part in and support the “Healthy 8,000 steps Campaign” as a daily sport
activity.

improvement and other areas

5. Encouraging the school’s tuck-shop

 that when selling lunchbox to the students, try not to use foam as the material of
food containers but instead of recyclable dishes or containers.
Reasons: Because foam cannot autolyse or be biodegraded, it occupies a lot of
space and shorten the live of landfill. Also, it is harmful to the environment as it
may emit some toxicant while

decomposing.
6. Install aluminium cans and plastic
bottles recycle bins on each level of the
school’s two main staircase.
Meanwhile, every classroom should
install a waste paper recycle bin besides
the original litterbin. On the other hand,
we encourage janitors to categorize
things that are recyclable, such as waste

paper and aluminium cans, during bin
cleaning the classroom after the school days.
After gathering the recyclable things, they can
sell them. Then part of money from the recycle
can divide into different sections and each
janitor can get one of them for bonus, thus
motivating themselves to work consciously
and the remaining part can be put into a fund
call “The Green Fund” that used to develop or
support the conservation activities at school
and official expenditure. My experience is that

However, there is only three recycle bins on the ground floor between the two
basketball court and that is a far way from me and so I throw the can away into
the general bin nearby.
Reasons: As oil, metals and tree are very important resources on the Earth, we
should reuse and recycle them. The bonus from selling the recyclable waste can
motivate the janitors to do their job more properly, consciously and efficiently.

7. Near the front door, install solar energy

receivers and wind power generators
 for supplying electricity for lights nearby. Also, these facilities can also be used
as teaching materials.
Reasons: For solar power and wind power, they are reusable energy sources.
Since there are so few sites about solar energy and wind power for visit, they can
also be teaching materials for both physics’ and integrated science’ syllabus.

8. Install a thermometer in each classroom main door
for reference for teachers and students. When the temperature reaches a certain
value, people can choose whenever switch on or off the air conditioner. Not only
to avoid arguments, but also to reduce electricity consumption.
Reasons: Students and teachers can refer to the temperature and choose
whether they should turn on the air conditioner or not. It helps to reduce
electricity consumption and avoid the air conditioner colder than its optimum

temperature.

9. Add an exhibition booth named “Green Land” at the cover area near the school
main door in order to introduce some new information and
activities concerning environmental protection.
Reasons: It is a way to educate the pupils and provide
some information for them.

10. To avoid squanders of water or electricity, stick some

proverbs (stickers, posters) such as “Turn off the
electrical appliances before you leave this room” and
“Water is not for games” at lavatories’ hand basins and
classrooms’ electrical switches to tell the students not to
waste water and electricity.
Reasons: Both water and electricity are important
resources. Sticking proverbs at these places can remind
the users not to squander those important resources.

basins

11. Encourage teachers to best choosing both-sided

 printing methods when preparing notes and supplementary materials for students
in order to consume less paper.
Reasons: Economizing the use of paper can reduce the cutting of trees in many
forests in rich countries because forests are the “Green Lungs”, which means the
oxygen producer of our Earth. They are very essential to all the living things.

the area that had to be dug or other
construction.
Reasons: The construction activities may
give out a lot of dust and they may worsen the
air quality and the environment nearby may
cover a layer of dust. Spreading water on to the
area can help reduce the dust emitted into air.
