Short description

The educator and students carefully manage the indoor-climate, food, waste, materials. This becomes visible in:

• heating and cooling only when needed
• constant proper ventilation (always fresh air and proper humidity level)
• no waste of materials and energy by working according to this principle
• conscious choice of materials, for example led-lightning, fair trade products, healthy food, recycled materials
• diminish waste production, recycle whatever is possible to recycle

To put it in an activity, the students investigate the possibilities to accomplish the above.
