Eco Friendly
At KRIS we make green living a part of everyday life by considering the environment in everything we do from green energy efficiency to recycling.
1. Encourage Pupils to Walk
Use footprints to reduce your carbon footprint! Introduce “walking buses†so that children can make the journey together, enjoying exercise, fresh air and a green way to start the day.
2. Eating Green
Take a look at your school Lunch break. Organic Vegetables are sourced ethically and locally. Our school has 100% Vegetarian meals as they have a lower carbon footprint as compared to Non-Veg Meals.
3. Recycle
Sort your rubbish and place recycling bins in the playground. Soon it will be second nature for children to throw their apple cores into the food waste and their used paper scraps in the recycling.
4. Get Down to Earth
Let the children get friendly with natural world. we have dedicated a patch of the school grounds to growing vegetables.
5. Turn the Old Into Something New
Get creative and crafty – KRIS children to bring in old objects and upycle them into a new creation. Even rubbish can get a new lease of life. Turning rubbish to artefacts which is displayed every year.
6. Be Energy Efficient & Green Energy
Turn off lights and shut down computers at the end of the day. Keep doors shut to stop heat escaping and don’t block heaters. Check the energy consumption of your appliances and make it a major consideration when buying new ones like LEDs and 5 star energy efficient appliances. For environmentally-friendly classrooms, make sure they are well insulated and use sustainable materials. More over , we are using 100% green energy i.e Solar energy (installed Solar Panels at roof of the building).
7. Lessons in Living
Whatever the subject, there’s always something to learn about the environment. Calculating food miles, measuring rainfall, Rain Harvesting and learning about landfill are some fascinating ways to bring environmental concerns to life in the classroom.
