REDUCE• Choose things with less packaging.
• If you can do without the package, then don’t use it.
• Check if the boxes you buy food and other things,
are made from recyclable material.
• Make crafts out of things you are not going to use
any more Example: puppets from old socks or
baskets from cartons.

REUSE
You can reuse almost anything!
• Reuse PAPERS from both sides. Everyone needs a rough paper or a picture!
• Reuse CEREAL BOXES! Instead of a chart we can use a cereal box during Crafts

We have Bring-in Sites so you can put clean, segregated recyclable
materials.

Saving Energy
Ekoskola Committee
Let’s make a difference!

At night, and during the colder months, we need light and warmth from other sources…
![Page 22: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
…. and we also need heat for cooking.
![Page 23: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Since early times, people have lit fires ….…. but fires make smoke, and are not convenient in modern homes.
![Page 24: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Clue 2Clue 1
![Page 25: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The electricity which we use is mostly made by burning coal or gas in power stations.
![Page 26: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
And our central heating boilers usually burn gas or oil.
![Page 27: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The trouble is, this makes lots of ‘greenhouse’ gases which scientists believe are warming up the Earth and the air around it.
![Page 28: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The ice in the arctic is melting, and the polar bears’ habitat is shrinking.
![Page 29: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
So what can YOU do to stop global warming?
![Page 30: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You can turn off the lights when you don’t need them!
![Page 31: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Suggest that the grown ups who do the shopping buy energy saving light bulbs.
![Page 32: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ask an adult to turn the heating down a notch …
and set the clock so that it is on for less time.
![Page 33: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Remind everyone to keep the doors and windows shut when the heating is on, to keep the warmth in.
![Page 34: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
You wear clothes to keep in your body heat.
Find out if your home is insulated to keep the warmth from escaping through the roof.
![Page 35: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Ask the people who put the kettle on to fill it only with the amount of water that is needed.
That way it will take less energy to bring it to the boil.
![Page 36: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Remind the people who do the cooking to put lids on the saucepans to keep the heat in while the food is cooking?
![Page 37: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Switch off! Don’t leave it on standby!
If you can see a light like this when the TV is off, it is using almost as much energy as if it was on!

THE WATER SCHOOL
Let’s make a difference!
![Page 41: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Water Meter…
Reading a water meter is not as
difficult as you might think! All you
have to do is to note down the
numbers you can see in the small
window on the top or bottom of the
meter.
![Page 42: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Why do we need water?1. To drink and to eat – a lot of food has water in
it.
2. To wash ourselves.
3. To cook
4. To flush toilets!
5. For plants – they also need water to drink
6. To clean our houses.
These are a few of our everyday chores!!!

Water HipposWe have water hippos in our school. We use them so the toilets use less water to flush and so we are saving water.
![Page 50: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
How to save water…No cost
• Report leaks and drips
• Turn off taps fully - no drips!
• Put the plug in the wash basin
• Get showered quickly
• Only run water as much as you need
• Use a bowl in a large sink
![Page 51: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
How to save water…Low Cost
• Fix leaking taps
• Fit Water Hippos in toilet cisterns
• Investigate leaks
• Fit plugs in wash basins
• Buy a water tank to use rain water
![Page 52: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
How to save water…High Cost
• Fit push taps
• Fit flow restrictors in pipes - slow the flow!
• Fit efficient automatic flush controls on urinals
• Replace old inefficient fittings with modern water-efficient ones
![Page 53: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
What did our Eco school do?1. Read the water meter every week to check
how much water we are using/wasting.
2. Put water hippos in each toilet.
3. Talked with the head of school about buying a water tank to collect rain water.
4. Checked for leaks so we can report them.
5. Monitor for open taps.
6. Write about and draw posters about water
![Page 54: EkoSkola Committee Qormi San Gorg](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55840ef9d8b42a40018b4570/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What can you do to help us?
Remember to close the taps after washing your hands.
Keep the toilets clean. Flush when necessary and don’t throw things in the toilets.
Report any leaks and get a handyman to repair them.
Respect and keep the environment clean!
