Best practice: → All new building projects should contain energy efficiency features, such as higher degree of insulation, double-glazing and efficient boilers. Where conditions permit it, their design should also reflect sustainable practices, like for instance a green roof; → Grow vegetables or herbs on the school grounds and plant flowers to brighten the area; → Start a composter or wormery to dispose of all organic scraps; → Make “recycled” flowers out of old cans or plastic bottles; → Plant trees to maintain the green environment and to reduce the carbon footprint; → Leave a part of the school grounds uncultivated, allowing the grass to grow and providing a natural habitat to promote wildlife.
