00:00:02,859 --> 00:00:11,039
Here, at IES Las Rosas I, we do a lot to look after the environment and promote an eco-friendly way of life.

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:23,660
We bring bottle caps into school to recycle them and in exchange we can earn eco-points to buy all types of articles in Las Rosas Village.

3
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:37,219
Two or three people with the most eco-points at the end of the school year have the opportunity to win things like an iPad or a mobile phone or a bicycle, etc.

4
00:00:37,219 --> 00:00:50,359
Now I collect all batteries and bottle caps and I bring it to the school to be recycled.

5
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:58,359
Also in our school you can put your old phones that are no longer working in a cylinder when they come new recycled.

6
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:03,929
We can bring pens that no longer work as well to gain leg points.

7
00:01:03,929 --> 00:01:13,900
Along with this we have three boxes in each classroom where we can separate papers from trash and plastic.

8
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:16,900
Now I recycle a lot more than before.

9
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:25,879
At the toilet, I don't use a lot of paper towels when I dry my hands after washing them.

10
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:33,879
Also, at home, when we hit the bathroom, we don't use the radiator. We use another machine to save energy.

11
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:41,920
When I leave a room at home or at school, I always switch off the light.

12
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:51,620
At the entrance of our school, there is an ecological garden where we plant aromatic plants,

13
00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:56,620
and we water them with a watering can instead of with a hose to save water.

14
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:59,620
Now, we are building another one for Begetabon.

15
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:09,180
How interesting! There are many things that we have learned that we can also do at home.

16
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:21,699
Lastly, when I take a shower, I turn off the water when I'm applying shampoo, conditioner or shower gel in order to save water.

17
00:02:21,699 --> 00:02:33,419
Yeah, and I use a useful water bottle when I go out to make sure not to generate waste with plastic bottles.

18
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:41,740
I avoid using aerosol sprays to preserve the ocean life.

19
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:52,039
I always turn off the tap when I'm brushing my teeth if I don't need water. Everybody should do this.

20
00:02:52,039 --> 00:03:03,250
What I do to save energy is to walk to school every day and anywhere else that I can, so as to reduce pollution from cars and buses.

21
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:12,199
Also, when possible, I open the windows to use natural light instead of turning on the lights.

22
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:24,490
on their legs. I use reusable bags when I go to the grocery store or go shopping. We all do that

23
00:03:24,490 --> 00:03:33,289
in my family. Now instead of buying plastic food containers, my family uses reusable ones.

24
00:03:36,629 --> 00:03:42,629
When my clothes are dirty, I wash them in the washing machine. But when they need to dry,

25
00:03:42,629 --> 00:03:50,150
I hand them instead of using a dryer. Since learning more about the environment in school,

26
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:57,689
I know, check every night that all electrical equipment is unplugged from the wall and that they are not on standby mode.

27
00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:04,849
Join us! Be eco-friendly!
