Questions for Ed: What does PV currently do for recycling? Have you tried to implement more efficient models? What is the energy efficiency of electronics at PV? (mainly lightbulbs) Does the school take part in Green Purchasing practices? In other words, does the school consider effects on human health and the environment when purchasing products for the school?

-Not enough man power to sort through trash, children and teachers need to be more responsible -Reach out ot younger children -Already uses green products -Recycles lightbulbs, batteries -Most of the school has energy efficient lighting -Windows is the highest leak of energy, but it would cost millions to replace

 (Criteria for Green Purchasing products)
 * 1) Is the product less hazardous?
 * 2) Is it reusable or more durable?
 * 3) Is it made from recycled materials? Do we really need to buy a virgin product when the recycled version is just as good?
 * 4) What happens to the product at the end of its life? Can it be recycled? Will the manufacturer take the product back? Will it need special disposal?
 * 5) Does it conserve energy or water?
 * 6) Is it made from plant-based raw material?

Would the school be interested in joining a program like the Rutgers Green Purchasing Cooperative Program?

How much energy do we lose from the breezeway from student transits?

I NEED MORE QUESTIONS TO ASK ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Questions for Lance:


 * __Bill Fahey "Health and Safety Vocational Officer"__**: Meeting @ PV Library, 5th period 3/12/10

Questions for Bill: What does your job entail in terms of helping the school in its green practices? Are there any environmental consulting services PV has a contract with? If so, how did they help the school? Are the lights, eco-friendly? If not, how expensive would it be to replace the existing ones with energy efficient lights and how much would it save the school in annual energy bills. What would be your opinion on the idea of turning off most of the lights in the hallway during class time and/or the entire school day? Would you be open to using new technologies in the school to reduce the ecological footstep?
