Carpooling

Students will advocate carpooling for the teachers. Teachers will be encouraged to share a car and come to school together. This cost-effective activity where people share rides in the same vehicle, typically to and from work, school, or other regular destinations is very ecofriendly. It helps reduce traffic congestion, lower fuel consumption, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Cloth Donation (Reusing)

 Implementing cloth recycling at QLA is a practical and educational initiative that can promote sustainability, teach students about responsible consumption, and reduce textile waste. It not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also instills valuable lessons about responsible consumption and waste reduction in students. It can become an integral part of the school's commitment to promoting eco-consciousness and community engagement.
