13/3/2018

0 Comments

 
The Green Schools Committee had a busy day on Friday, 9th March 2018. The Committee gave a presentation on a product called Thieves Oil to the pupils and parents of Cloonlyon NS. They invited to everybody to test out the cleaning properties of the Thieves Oil and encourage families to make their own. Many thanks to our caretaker, Joy McDonnell, who is using this chemical free substance to clean the tables in Cloonlyon NS. Every little action we can do helps helps protect our Marine Environment.

Marine Litter  - What can we do?

13/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Cloonlyon NS Green Schools Committee are hard at work informing the student and parent bodies about the effects of Marine Litter on  our marine environment both locally and internationally.   One of our main projects has been to test and produce a non toxic everyday cleaner. We found out about an ancient remedy called 'Thieves Oil'. This oil has antibacterial properties using a concoction of herbs and spices.  

OUR HOMEMADE THIEVES OIL RECIPE:
This is a multi-purpose cleaner that is gentle to all surfaces – chemical free with the most fabulous smell! If you would like to turn your Thieves oil into a window cleaner add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to some of the solution.
Recipe: 
Skin of 2 lemons
4 cinnamon sticks
A couple of sprigs of fresh lavender (or 2-3 drops of oil)
1 tbsp of cloves
1 pint of water
5-6 drops of eucalyptus oil
5-6 drops of rosemary oil or fresh rosemary
Put the lemon skins, cinnamon sticks, lavender, cloves and water into a pot, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for approximately 30 minutes. Add 5-6 drops of eucalyptus oil and 5-6 drops of rosemary oil and stir well. Leave to sit for about 3 hours. Strain the liquid into a jug. In a spray bottle put 1 part concentrated mixture to 3 parts water. If you would like to turn your Thieves Oil into a window cleaner add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.

As part of our Green Flag award this year we have looked at Global Citizenship. This gets us thinking about how we have an effect not only on our local community but on our global community. Above is pictured a notice board which the pupils of Cloonlyon NS have created to show how we can all do our bit.

What You Can Do

Turn Off the Taps!
  • A dripping hot water tap wastes energy and in one week wastes enough hot water to fill half a bath, so fix leaking taps and make sure they're fully turned off!
  • Turn off taps - wasting water wastes electricity as a huge amount of electricity is used daily in supplying water and cleaning it after use.

Turn Down the Heat!
  • Turning the thermostat down by 1°C can reduce your heating bills by 10%.
  • Remember to turn off radiators in school after 12noon unless it is an exceptionally cold day.
  • Close your curtains at dusk as curtains block cold air coming in.
  • Check all windows and doors to see where draughts are coming in. If you identify draughts get your parents or teachers to seal them up. Why don't you try and make a draught excluder using old clothes!

Turn Off Appliances!
  • Turn off your TV, stereo, playstation, computer, washing machine, DVD and other appliances when they are not in use. Leaving appliances on stand-by uses energy so remember to switch them off.
  • Put stickers on photocopiers, computers and other appliances in school to remind everyone to turn them off.
