The school has taken significant steps to reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment. This is a way of teaching our students the importance of taking little steps towards creating a better world. GREEN TEEN- The Eco Club in school was created in the year 2011. Students of classes VI-XII are part of this club and are working passionately towards protecting the environment. The members of GREEN TEEN CLUB have vowed to further initiatives taken up by the school and do their best towards conservation of environment. Few projects undertaken are: |
SOLAR PANELS
|
The school has installed solar panels to generate electricity. This has made the school self sufficient in its energy requirements, and now it is no longer dependent on BSES for its electricity. Rather, all extra electricity produced is channeled to BSES and this helps raise our credit rating with them. Our students are conscientiously switching off all electrical appliances when not in use

NO TO SINGLE-USE PLASTICS IN THE SCHOOL | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, are used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles. Thus as an initiative to protect our environment we at TIS have taken a decision that the cafeteria will not serve food in plastic plates and glasses nor will plastic cutlery be used. All single use plastic items have been stopped. Children are encouraged to carry their own lunch boxes for buying food from the cafeteria. The school is also a No Polybag Zone. Neither students nor teachers carry polythene bags to school. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

World Environment Day is celebrated on 5th June every year. Its aim is to raise global awareness and mobilise action for environment protection. In the year 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human environment was held from 5th June to 16th June. After that, every year on 5th June, it has been hosted by different countries of the world with different theme. Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play. For example:
And so, while we dominate this planet, we still need to preserve the diversity in wildlife. To keep up with the pace our CLIMATE WARRIORS have contributed to mother earth in a variety of ways.
TAKING A PLEGDE TO PROTECT MOTHER EARTH Pledge to be climate-conscious, create awareness within families & communities. Every minute counts, be a Climate Warrior.

Towards a pollution-free planet
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Human activities contaminate ecosystems around the world—from pole to pole, from the highest mountains to the ocean deep. Toxic chemicals can be found in pristine forests and the blood of Arctic animals. Litter floats beneath the surface of oceans miles away from land. Even excess noise and light are interrupting natural patterns and disrupting the lives of animals and people. Pollution today is pervasive and persistent. While the world has achieved significant economic growth over the past few decades, it has been accompanied by large amounts of pollution, with significant impacts on human health and ecosystems and the ways in which some of the major Earth systems processes, such as the climate, are functioning. The posters describes the pollution challenge, explores what is already being done to address pollution, and proposes focused and actionable interventions to address pollution in all its forms. Let us all take a call on the occasion of WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY (5TH JUNE 2020) to act towards a pollution-free planet. A pollution-free planet is by far and away the best insurance for the survival and well-being of current and future generations of humans and ecosystems.
