The environmental index project – Colegio Marymount Cuernavaca

Seeking to reduce students’ general consumption by fostering social and interpersonal competition, this project involves a survey of habits using parameters like consumption of meat and packaged food, water and electricity use, clothes shopping etc. The feedback from this survey contains a numerical “environmental index”, and also presents the challenges that a student needs to overcome using the available scope of opportunities. Periodical implementation of this survey among a group of students with an aim to improve the environmental index, has enabled them to take tangible steps to be more eco-friendly.
