  # Tell your teachers to turn off the lights if they%26#039;re not needed.
  # Tell your teachers to turn the computers off when they%26#039;re not needed.
  # In I.C.T. when the teacher is talk to the whole class, turn off the monitor.

• Ask to get solar panels, don%26#039;t turn on lights when not needed, turn off the poweer switch on a socket when your not using it, and encourage people to throw away litter %26amp; recycle because then the cleners won%26#039;t have to waste more energy on vacums etc 13% 2 Votes
• have the windows open when it%26#039;s warm instead of ac or heat
  turn off the lights when you don%26#039;t use them
  use the computers less
  unplug things when they%26#039;re not being used
  recycle, but that doesn%26#039;t do with saving energy
