Projects Term 3 (Summer 2017)

No waste day 

Daniella Gallardo, Miguel Caireta, Angel Rodriguez, Bruno Pont, (2º ESO Environmental Club)
May/June 2017

This is Miguel, Daniela, Bruno and Angel. This is the information for the No Waste Day:

We looked at the results for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and saw that on what we wasted on Wednesay was about 200-300 kW less than normally. Here are the numbers:

Monday: 1357kW

Tuesday: 1521kW

Wednesday: 1157kW

This a reduction in electricity use of 20%!!

After this we did an average between the numbers of Monday and Tuesday and used this to do an average on what we use every month in school. Then we did the same with the amount of energy we used on Wednesday. We concluded that on a normal month we waste 8576.9 kW more than in a month where we would have all no waste days. 

A month with all No Waste Days would waste: 35192.083kW

A normal month would waste: 43769.583kW

What next???

Eco-committee Meeting  

Luca Montrucchio, Jordi Fabregat  (1º ESO Environmental Club)
May/June 2017

Luca and Jordi took a big role in organising the Eco-committee meeting held in the Auditorium on the 1st June 2017.  All the photos are included in the Oak House School newsletter from Friday 16th June. Luca and Jordi showed two videos and spoke to everyone present about environmental issues, then we went to the roof garden to visit it and plant seeds to grow plants that will help improve the soil quality to be able to grow vegetables after summer. On top of the seeds we left some wood shavings to act as a "mulch" to stop the soil drying out too quickly and to keep it cooler.

The Roof Garden 
Alex Muñoz  (1º ESO Environmental Club)
May/June 2017

Alex helped with the roof garden, and researched what plants would be the ideal companions to the trees we have planted on the roof. The companion plants will form what we call a "guild" of species which work together to support each other in a mini-ecosystem and we will plant them very soon!
