Sustainability Tour
Thursday 18th of March 2010 While on the sustainability excursion I learned many things from touring St Leonard's. A few examples are: St Leonard's had bins all around the school that were available to all, they included recycling and regular bins. The students were taught to incorporate sustainability in every aspect of their lives, and at school they and the staff turn off all switches and appliances when they leave a room. This excursion was a great opportunity to learn about sustainability and how it could be applied at St Columba's
 * A single wind turbine can produce energy and earn money.
 * A building can be insulated with cardboard and polystyrene.
 * A school can earn money and be sustainable by having cows/horses/sheep on the property.
 * A vegetable garden is a great idea for a sustainable school.
