Step 1: Forming an Eco Committee
Who Are We?
Who Are We?
MS Eco Council
MS Eco Council
"Reducing waste, reducing energy use, reducing our impact on the environment.
In recognition of our responsibility as citizens of the world, our community of adults and children will commit to playing an active part in caring for the environment - on campus and beyond."
MS Eco Council is a team of passionate students in grades five to eight who aim to foster a sustainable community. Under teacher guidance, our council weekly convenes to identify and address environmental concerns.
Our council is committed to promoting advocacy and protecting the environment in schools, within our local communities, and across the Philippines. Our actions follow the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using them as frameworks for all of our initiatives. Through slideshows in advisory or quick “Eco Bytes” during assemblies, we aim to spark conversations about environmental responsibility within our communities.
Overall, we aim to make seemingly minor but lasting improvements in our community. Whether that involves planting self-germinated avocado trees or recycling and donating used paper bags, we recognize the influence these seemingly small actions can make when everyone gets involved. Together, Eco Council strives to establish a sustainable legacy and pave the way towards a more eco-friendly future, one step at a time.
Step 2: Carrying out a Sustainability Audit
Environmental Review
Environmental Review
In light of our journey in certifying ISM as a green school, for our second endeavor, we were asked to fill out an Environmental Review in order to denote the strengths ISM has and areas for improvements that would give us an idea of where to start. The final consensus made by the whole Eco/Sustainability Groups in ISM was to mainly focus on Biodiversity and Water, for this school year. Thus, we have incorporated many activities to promote these topics throughout all faculty and students.
Step 3: Actionizing the Plan
Project Brainstorm + Proposals
Project Brainstorm + Proposals
Moving forward, the Eco Council GA has brainstormed a few ways to promote these topics of Biodiversity and Water, of which we aim to develop in our school environment. The final 4 projects, stated in the presentation to the right, are currently being worked on for the rest of the school year.
