"My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature."
— Jane Goodall
In sustaining with the standards of green schools, SAI International Residential School (SIRS) is assured in its ability to foster an extra-green campus where sustainability and environmental awareness have grown to be traits of the people it educates. The initiative seeks to spread knowledge and responsible attitudes about the sustainable environment not only within the school but also in the community and at home.
Sustainable Architecture: Building in Harmony with Nature
The architecture at SIRS was intentionally designed to blend in with the natural environment and resources. Better ventilation in the classrooms reduces respiratory and environmental issues and allows for good indoor air quality. The use of numerous windows allows natural daylight to enter the interiors sufficiently, reducing the need for artificial lighting and improving student performance and concentration. The light-colored interiors promote a feeling of relaxation that further improves the learning experience. SIRS further reduces its environmental impact by using low-emitting materials, such as dust-free chalks and environmentally friendly cleaning products. Green transportation is promoted by providing safe bike paths and walkways, and carbon dioxide emissions have been significantly reduced by using environmentally friendly vehicles.
Efficiency in Energy Use: Utilizing Natural Resources
The school makes the most use of natural lighting, which is enhanced by solar panels and LED lights. By heating the water and supplying lighting, these solar panels lower overall energy use and encourage environmentally friendly living on campus.
Green Spaces and Plantation: Nurturing Biodiversity
SIRS guarantees both a thriving campus ecosystem and active conservation of the green belt. Students and teachers work together to maintain a vegetable garden and an herbal garden that are grown under natural manure, fostering the development of sustainable agricultural practices and connecting people to nature. This initiative not only contributes to greening but also has self-sustaining environmental-conscious society characteristics.
Conservation of Biodiversity: A Dedication to Nature
SIRS constantly strives to preserve biodiversity on school grounds. To promote trash segregation and recycling of commodities including glass, paper, cans, and plastic, recycling bins are positioned thoughtfully. Through participation in environmental awareness initiatives and nature trails, students develop a lifelong love of the natural world.
An Action in the Direction of a Greener Future
Sustainability is a way of life at SIRS, not merely a practice. By incorporating green projects into everyday activities, the school is forming people who care about the environment and will support sustainable living. The school's dedication to creating a brighter, greener, and more sustainable future for future generations is demonstrated by the SIRS green campus.
