Transcripts: Colchester Royal Grammar School
- Are you working to make your school greener?
We are trying to.
- What are you doing / have you done?
We are considering the 'green' option where applicable and economically viable.
We are thinking about replacing the water tank in the gym with a solar heated one.
All of our waste is sorted, and as much as possible is recycled.
Our new changing rooms have lights fitted with motion sensors (we are looking at installing these elsewhere).
We no longer turn all of the lights in the school on in the mornings.
- Do students support you in this mission?
Yes, you two making your website, students generally turning lights off - that sort of thing.
- Is it something your school takes very seriously?
Yes.
- Do you think you would benefit from external assistance in making your school greener?
If so, in what?
More advice on the grants available.
- Important Messages for the Site
Factor the environmental cost into all decisions, however small.
- Suggestions
Engage the staff as it is a school issue.
