Things students and teachers can do in school to reduce the pollution.

• Change the regular light bulbs to low-energy light bulbs

• Put isolation between the glasses in the windows to minimize the cold coming in, so that you won’t use the elements that much which saves energy.

• Throw paper in separate trash bins, and bottles in another and then the rest of the waste in a different bin, so that you later can recycle it easier.

• Use recyclable pens and paper that can be sold in school.

• Have many plants, because they work as both decoration and keep the carbon dioxide and oxygen is released.

• Ecological food and locally produced to lower the transportation.

• Only print when it is necessary, do not print stuff you will not need. Email it to one and other instead.

• Do not have the lights on when it is not needed.

•Cut as much beef out of your diet as possible. The meat industry is responsible for 18 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

•Use both sides of paper and then recycle. Only 9 percent of the 8 million tons of paper used each year is recycled.
