School resources
Schools use many resources, especially paper, which should be used carefully. However, some paper
becomes waste when it is torn, crumpled, or used carelessly.
Notes, letters, and old files also turn into waste once they are no longer needed.
Water is essential, and students bring it in disposable or reusable bottles. Disposable bottles create a lot of
waste, while reusable ones can be used multiple times.
Schools consume a lot of energy to maintain comfortable temperatures, provide lighting, and prepare meals.
Turning off unnecessary lights helps save resources.
Recycling paper, plastics, and metals prevents waste from going to landfill sites and helps conserve
resources.
