The children, parents and staff of the school will be encouraged to wrap their presents in eco-friendly manner. The rule is to use only reusable material such as newspaper, cloth, brown paper … instead of the usual wrapping paper made of plastic microfibers. The children and their parents will be asked to send us photos of these gifts and in the end the winner is the class with the most eco-friendly wrapped gifts. We have gifts vouchers from esplora as well as other gifts for all the family to enjoy. This to encourage all our children and their families to have an eco-friendly christmas.

We need to know that for us to create paper, we are bound to use a lot of trees: • 1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees. • 1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees. • A “pallet” of copier paper contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. • 1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses 6 trees. • 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets. • 1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree. • 1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper uses a little more than 15 trees. • 1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper (used for news magazines and most catalogues) uses nearly 8 trees.

Pollution can be reduced in terms of walking instead of using the proper car, the use of electric cars, car pooling, etc. An unclean environment leads to a bad condition of a society, arrival of diseases and much more.
