Year 9 Japanese

By going on the excursion to St Leonard's college i learnt that they have wind turbines to save them money and to produce energy. They also use lots of other interesting methods to keep their school sustainable, one of these ways are thermal chimneys. St Leonards college uses solar panels to preserve energy, keep their energy bill down. Being sustainable doesn't just save energy and water it also saves money. St Leonards has many different small techniques to be sustainable like using recycled paper, turning lights off when they leave the room, having no textbooks or computers and other things like energy efficiant light bulbs. They also have many different plants and trees around the school aswell as animals like chicken and sheep which are fed with food scraps.

This is some of the ways Japanese schools try to be sustainable. Japanese schools save electricity by turning off the lights when they don't need them. They save water by turning off the taps when theyre finished and they have a ground water system. They have recycle bins for paper and bottle caps. They stay back after school and clean the classrooms and corridors.
