To raise awareness teachers kept lights off in their classrooms and led lessons without interactive whiteboards/panelsfor the whole day.

We also launched a Readcycle Book Swap initiative at NAS by putting the 3Rs (reduce, recycle, and reuse) into practicewith our newbook swap area in the school lobby.
