The Prem Eco Committee is a group of teachers, students, and community members who are working towards becoming an eco-friendly school and getting the Green Flag Award from Eco-Schools and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). We are a community that is working together and supporting each other. Eco-Schools is an organization that includes schools from around the world, that are trying to encourage their community to be more environmentally friendly.

The Eco-Committee had their meeting today, the 5th of April. This morning we met up in the boarding lounge to have our introductions. We then discussed our understanding of a few words that we would be using frequently in our committee: We split up into groups to come up with a definition of Communication, Community, and Sustainability.  Later on, our group gathered around to do chalk talk questions about our Eco-Committee, we all built on each other’s ideas.

 After our short break, we went around the school to explore sustainability areas around the campus. Starting from the farm, the Chum shop, and lastly the laundry department. We also went to the back of the laundry room to check out the recycling area. From our trip, we got to know more about Prem’s campus and what the community does.  After the bike ride, we came back to work on individual or group projects based on the roles/responsibilities we had chosen.
