The kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it.s time to go home
in the afternoon.Instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other,"Are
the lights all off?""Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping?""How many paper towels did
we use today?"
But it.s not unusual here.The kids have declared a war on waste.
＂We.ve never made the children do anything,"explained Liz Templar,the school.s head teacher.
＂They came up with all the ideas themselves.They.re doing this because they want to."
If you take a look around the school you won.t see anything thrown away unnecessarily.
Everything is collected and reused,or sent to be recycled.
Shute School started its green revolution two years ago.They looked carefully at every part of school
life-from the teaching to the cleaning.They looked at the stationery(文具）that was used-
especially photocopying,the way cleaning was carried out,and how food was used-and wasted!could bhey bring more children in fewer car?
