What you can do to reduce your carbon footprint

In our Comenius Project 2012-2014 we worked with

the following schools:

École Fondamentale Libre de Chênée (Liège), Belgium

Hauptschule an der Toni, Munich Germany

Instituto Magistrale ‘Mazzini’, Locri, Calabria, Italy

Primary and Secondary School ‘Konstantin Konstantinov’, Sliven, Bulgaria

On the way with Mr Greenplanet

• to lower the power of the heating system in warm weather and during the holidays.

‘We have not inherited the Earth from our Ancestors; we have borrowed it from our Children”

Reducing our school’s global footprint

• To lower the use of electricity we will ask our students to turn off the computers and to switch off the lights.

• To save paper we will use computer based tasks in class and will use photocopies occasionally.

• We will use recycled paper.

• We will take part in the national campaign “ Let`s clean Bulgaria in one day”

• We will adopt a bee family.

• Our students will use.

• We will establish garbage

collectors for separate collection of paper and plastic bags and bottles in classrooms at school.

What we did to reduce our carbon footprint

What effect did we have Our starting point

• We turned off the computers and switched off the lights .

• We used less electricity in warm weather.

• We had computer based tasks in class and used photocopies occasionally.

• We took part in the national campaign “ Let`s clean Bulgaria in one day.

• We established garbage collectors for separate collection of paper and plastic bags and bottles at school.

• We considerably reduced the consumption of heating power and electricity.

• At home we use less water and tried to buy more local food.

• We reduced the consumption of paper.

• We reduced the use of plastic bags and bottles.

To calculate the amoun ot our Carbon Footprint we used the data collected in March, 2013.

Our school building has an area of about 4000 m2 and is dairy used by 65 teachers and 838 students

Heating Annual energy consumption 99 369

KWh=27425 кg СО2 Possible reduce:

99369 kWh = 27425.8 kg СО2

Electricity Annual consumption

5440 KWh=3 128 кg СО2

Possible reduce: 5 440 kWh = 3 128 kg СО2

Water Annual consumption of water

207 м3 = 9.693 кg СО2

Possible reduce: 207m3 = 9, 69 kg СО2

• We adopted a bee family.

Carbage Annual amount of garabage

6,72 m3 / год. 1344 кг =552,38kg СО2 Possible reduce:

6,72 m3 / год. 1344 кг =552,38kg СО2

Carbon Footprint Calculation - March, 2013.
