Reynolds High School cuts carbon emissions whilst educating students
Reynolds High School in the US has been doing its bit for the environment by introducing gardening and educational activities to transform areas of the school into micro-ecosystems.The Green Spaces Project has seen staff, students and donors getting involved in environmental activities, the Times Colonist reported.`We want to get kids connected with using our land and our space to grow food,` teacher Heather Coey, who started the project, told the paper.Going carbon-neutral and reaching carbon emissions goals is one motivation behind the project, alongside the passion of the school`s students.Reynolds High School was the first in its school district to run the waste management pilot project, which started with replacing rubbish bins in one hallway with a bin for compostable materials and a sorting tower.Last month the Gazette Series reported on Blue Coat Primary School, in Wotton-under-Edge, UK, which has installed a wind turbine to reduce emissions and make the children more aware of sustainability.
