Initiative: "When we switch off the light bulbs, we take good care of nature".
Originator: Dariusz Cielniak
Location: Jedlińsk, Public Primary School
Implementation date: 09/2015-05/2016
Description of the problem encountered: The building of the T. Kościuszko Public Primary School in Jedlińsk has been renovated several times in recent years, but due to its large volume, the renovation has never covered the whole building. The whole school building was insulated, the external facade was made, the windows and the central heating installation were replaced. However, the old electrical installation, which is very energy-intensive and has often broken down, is still a problem.

Activities:
- replacement of the lighting in 5 classrooms, 3 backrooms to classrooms and the school corridor;
- changing switches and power distribution boards;
- organising the 14th edition of the environmental competition;
- planting of deciduous and coniferous shrubs around the building;
- presentations by pupils in school classes on energy saving;
- an environmental slogan competition to encourage energy saving.
Planned results: By replacing the lighting, the energy efficiency of the school building will be increased and thus the environment will be improved. The new lamps will reduce emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere and lower electricity costs. As a result of the measures, awareness will be raised among pupils, parents and teachers, who will be able to use the knowledge they have gained in their everyday lives, e.g. in their households.

The initiative "When we switch off the light bulbs, we take good care of nature" at Tadeusz Kościuszko Public Elementary School in Jedlińsko was carried out as part of the project "Local ecological civic initiatives - together for the environment" of the Foundation for the Development of Polish Agriculture and financed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
RESULTS OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
The project entitled "When we switch off the light bulbs, we take good care of nature" was divided into several stages.
Firstly, investment was carried out at Tadeusz Kościuszko Public Primary School in Jedlińsko, involving the replacement of lighting in classrooms, back rooms and the school corridor, together with the replacement of switches and power distribution boards.
In addition, the school management took care of the green areas by planting trees and shrubs.
As part of the project, a number of educational activities were also carried out.
In March 2016, classes with a beekeeper were held at the school. A total of 60 children participated.
A mini-competition was organised for pupils to find the best environmental slogan. Fifty-six slogans were submitted in response. The competition committee singled out the slogan 'Protect to survive, protect to live.
On 26 April 2016, an environmental competition was held - the 14th edition of the communal regional knowledge competition. Among the questions for the test, more than half dealt with project-related issues, i.e. environmental protection, energy conservation, etc. Seven teams of three people took part in the competition. The winners were the pupils from the PSP in Zawady Nowe. Prizes were presented on 15 June 2016.
In addition, an energy-saving activity was held at the school, during which a multimedia presentation was displayed in all classes.
PRESENTATION - ENERGY SAVING CAMPAIGN
In turn, the pupils prepared a staging to promote environmentally friendly attitudes, which was presented on 15 June during the competition prize-giving event.
