Summary:In our school, it is acquired the certification of an environment management system in February, 2002. This system is to do a plan, enforcement, a check, a review. In environment ISO, useful activity is recommended in addition to environment load reduction activity. An environment principal of our school is a green engineer. The general idea is kind to a person, and it is upbringing of an eco-friendly industry engineer. Until now two years passed. Reduction of trash was about 50%, and the quantity of electricity use was about 3% below down compared with 2000. Useful activities for environment are practiced with variety in many educational activities. Interchange activities with a local area such as river purification activity or a performance of an environment picture-story show are progressing, too. Environment ISO becomes a means to invent revitalization for a school. As a future problem, continuous improvement is important. The certain enforcement and training will be big problems.
