A Sustainable AHS

5 Ways That AHS Can Be Better Improved to Be More Sustainable

A Large Garden for Daily Vegetables

• This garden would contain:• 50,000 sq ft of fresh fruits and

vegetables.• Some of the garden would be located

on the roof of the school, whereas the rest would take place of the baseball field.

• The cost of this would be about $50,000 + a full time gardener to work with the food.

• This would pay off over the years because $1 spent on this land would produce $25 of product over each year.

Solar Power• We are also going to add

solar panels to all sides of the gardens.

• The roof gets great amounts of solar energy and it is just wasted.

• This is very expensive, but it will then power most lighting in the school.

• The cost will be about $100,000.

Transportation• If we make our

transportation of students more efficient then we will be way more sustainable.

• The minimum carpooling limit would be 3 people.

• This would greatly decrease the traffic as well.

All-Electronic• If AHS were to live by a no

paper policy, then we would be killing no trees, and getting our work around more efficiently.

• It would be expensive to get everyone their own computer, but we would use no more paper.

If we follow these steps towards making a more sustainable AHS

then we can do it. Each thing that we do to improve our campus

helps.
