We have all heard of the "green movement" and we should all be trying to make our home better by being involved in said movement. However, the reality of the situation is that while "being green" is "socially acceptable" in some circles there are not many people who actually go green for the movement and not so much for the "fad." Going green is a really easy and simple thing to do, however in today's society we are typically lazy. Many schools, including RCS, have started to conserve and use our Earth's resources in a new and better way. Many people have noticed that we now have recycling bins on our campus and now use eco-friendly cleaners and use paper in a more conservative way.
But is that really enough? Many schools are adopting a "Green" lifestyle by asking students to bring "Trash Free Lunches" which have requirements such as a lunch box instead of paper and a washcloth or cloth napkin instead of a paper napkin. Schools are also being asked to provide reusable trays instead of the Styrofoam trays that we see in many of today's schools. Students and teachers alike are turning off lights more and more and opening windows instead of turning on the air conditioning. Schools in California are setting a new policy and hooking all electrical appliances up to a central power unit and turning it off at the end of the day to keep from wasting excess energy while electronics are not in use.
Resurrection is definitely in the right direction as far as "going green" goes. We recycle paper and plastic. We have more eco-friendly cleaners and ink. All in all we are taking steps towards a better eco-friendly lifestyle here at RCS. You have to crawl before you walk and eventually RCS will be running with the green lifestyle.
