how can schools contribute to the betterment of the environment?
What programs can they be implemented?
You don’t say what level school you are talking about, but there are things any school can do to protect the environment. A monitoring team should be set up to be sure that all unnecessary lights are turned off. They could also turn off electronics such as computers when not being used. Visit the EPA website for information on the program to eliminate toxic fumes from idling buses. Recycle, recycle, recycle. Start a comprehensive recyling program.
