Eco Group minutes

Minutes from the 22nd January Eco-group meeting in 8Z classroom:

1. Feedback on website www.recyclezone.org.uk
Delegates hadn’t looked at it. They’ll do this for next week.

2. Paper recycling in the school: 2 eco-delegates from every class to collect paper twice a week and place in the blue bins in the corridor. We need delegates to tell Julio when the bins are full and they need emptying in the skip.
Single delegates from each class were chosen to empty waste paper twice a week. 8Y students were chosen to tell Julio if the bins were full and get them emptied into the skip. SBA to find more boxes.

3. We need help for the display board. Computer designs. We will print out and you can have some times at break to put up the display. Jon Victor and Claudia will coordinate the work and contribute to the work on the display board. Other delegates to give their things to them and SBA and TBE will print out pictures.

4. Badges - membership cards. Can you come up with a design for a badge by next week and we’ll make the badges/cards for you. What info should the badges/cards have? Students will come up with designs for cards by next week.

5. Can eco-delegates make sure that lights in the classrooms are turned off when not in use. Also remind the teacher to turn off the whiteboard etc. See instructions in classrooms. Agreed.

6. Computer initiatives: blackle.com , switching off the screens when not in use, black screen savers, ecosearch.com engine that helps ecology.
Agreed. Also delegates explained that teachers could work on the interactive board with black and white text to save energy. We need to explain this to teachers.
