The Green Community.

I am the principal of a prestigious high school called St. Pics school and our school is
considered one of the best ones, but there are always some things we can do to
improve, and we thought the best way to do it, was to become an Eco-friendly place.
We are going to create “The Green Community” that students are going to carry out
and it will be in charge of thinking of different ways to turn their school into an
eco-friendly place, be able to speak freely about the environment and its current
situation…

Creating the Green Community will be so expensive. To make the community

successful a lot of students and teachers will have to be involved. If we find no
teachers as volunteers we’ll have to pay extra money to these teachers involved. This
idea would have to be approved by the teacher's council and we would also have to
have the support of families. We could make donations to make this community a
community with resources. Keep in mind that, as it is not a compulsory subject, if the
school had financial problems, this community would have to disappear.
