Transport conversion table

Carbon emission of paper - 3.5 kg per month

3.5 x 2.9 = 10.15

therefore, 10.15 kg of carbon is produced in our school per month.

Similarly, 30.45 kg of carbon is produced in our school per three

months.

ELECTICITY CONSUMED WATER CONSERVATION

TOTAL ELECTRICAL BILL AMOUNT IS Rs.531 PER MONTH

ELECTRICITY BILL PER YEAR = Rs.6372

UNIT OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMED kWH = 6372/5.98 = 1065.551

ELECTRIC EMISSION FACTOR kg OF CO2e = 1.56

1065.551*1.56 = 1662.2608 IN kgs

CONSERVATION OF WATER AT AUDEN SCHOOL

We have implemented rain water harvesting in our school.

The rain water is collected which is later used for the washrooms.

The students at Auden are insisted to minimize the use of water near the washrooms.

The students are insisted to pour the leftover water from the bottles to the plants.

Fabrics sold here……

1.SILK- the most

2.JEANS- less than silk

3.COTTON- less than jeans

4.NYLON- more than jute

5.JUTE– the least

COLLECTING SOIL SAMPLES on 24/10/17 at 1.30 pm

Field DensityField Density = Field weight of the soil/total volume

= 350/282.6

= 1.23 g/cc

Volume of cylinderVolume of cylinder = Area*height

= π*r*r*h

= 3.14*3*3*10

= 282.6 cc

Bulk density

• Bulk density = dry weight of soil/total volume

= 270/282.6

= 0.95 g/cc

Moisture

• Moisture = weight of water/weight of dry soil*100

= (350 – 270)/270*100

= 30%

WASTE MANAGEMENT

• Waste Management is nothing but making the least trash to go into the trash bin and

making the maximum use of the waste materials.

WASTE MANAGEMENT AT AUDEN SCHOOL

We collected the wastes from all the classes for 5 days and weighed them. The results were as

follows.

DAY WASTE PRODUCED

(Approximately)

DAY 1 (08 – 10 – 2017) 2.5 kg

DAY 2 (09 – 10 – 2017) 2.2 kg

DAY 3 (10 – 10 – 2017) 2.1 kg

DAY 4 (11 – 10 – 2017) 2 kg

DAY 5 (12 – 10 – 2017) 1.8 kg On Day 5 – 1.8 kg

We will try more and will surely reduce the waste produced, to zero.

GREEN LIFESTYLE

• Green living is a choice that we make as individuals to change to a green

lifestyle in ways that reduce our impact on the environment.

• All of us must try to lead a green life i.e. we must be eco – friendly as

much as possible

• To be eco – friendly, we must follow the 5 R’s – Reduce, Reuse,

Recycle, Regenerate and Research.

• We conducted a survey and counted the number of plastic and steel

bottles used in the primary section.

• Initially, the number of plastic bottles used was more.

• But, after we conducted some programs in our school about the harmful

effects of plastic, we were amazed and very happy that the number of

plastic bottles decreased drastically and the number of steel bottles

increased at the same rate.

A POEM ON NATURE

MOTHER NATURE

O, Mother Nature, you provide us with treesThat give us a cool breezeThey provide us with flowerYou are the one that no one can ever overpower.

We turned a deaf ear to your words of kindnessAnd polluted you due to our foolishnessYour warning to us was in vainAnd now we have caused you a lot of pain.

After we made your patience breakWe realized our mistakePlease forgive us Mother NatureWe promise to never pollute you in future.

A POEM ON NATURE

MY FRIENDOh my lovely nature

You are my best friend

You give shelter to

All creatures

You are the one with

Lot of talents

You bring rain

You give us food

You give birth

To the beautiful things

You are so gorgeous

And a bit of other colors too.

You bear all

the pollution that we produce

You have a lovely heart

You are the majesty

Oh my lovely friend!!!!
