♻️ Our Green School

A "Green School" isn't just painted green! It is a place where we save water, save energy, and manage our waste responsibly. We follow the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to keep our environment happy. Understanding what goes into our dustbins is the first step.

What's in our School Dustbin?

Breakdown of typical school waste. Most of it can be recycled or composted!

1. Reduce

Use less. Carry a cloth bag instead of plastic. Take only as much food as you can eat.

2. Reuse

Use things again. Use empty jam jars for storage. Donate old books to the library.

3. Recycle

Change old into new. Paper, glass, and metal can be sent to factories to make new things.

🏝️ Unique Places: Islands

India has two major island groups: Andaman & Nicobar in the Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea. They have very different features, from volcanoes to coral reefs.

Island Comparison

Comparing features on a scale of 1-10. Notice Andaman has more forests, while Lakshadweep is famous for corals!

Energy: Powering Our Life

Energy is the ability to do work. We get energy from different sources. Some are Renewable (like Sun and Wind) which never run out, and some are Non-Renewable (like Coal and Petrol) which are limited. We must use energy wisely!

Energy Sources Mix

We rely heavily on Coal, but Solar and Wind are growing!

Vehicle Fuel Efficiency

How far can different vehicles go on 1 Litre of fuel? This helps us understand energy consumption.
