Going Green - Quick Wins
For Castle Vale School being enviromentally friendly has not been high on their agenda, but with sky high energy bills and an old building something needs to be done.
In the first of three programmes we follow the school over the course of a term as they make the change to "Go Green".
Can the help of energy guru Ken Heaton motivate them to carry out some easy targets that could have big savings?

with the saveings made. could not the school put the money saved towards double glazzing and solar water heating system making more savings. then the school will have greater savings in the future. perhaps going towards more speciliesed subjects like altenative fules.

suggestion6 August 2008 - 18:55So far as I remembered, I onced wrote to suggest that you upload some episodes of movies in the way of business
negotiation. Would you tell me if that could be arranged? I am teaching business English and I feel hard to find
the relevant episodes to show in class.
Thank you very much for reading my suggestion.
