여기는 유치원 입니다. 여름을 맞이하여 7,8월에는 물과 에너지라는 주제로 프로젝트 수업을 하였습니다. 아이들과 함께 손을 씻을 때 손에 물을 묻힌 후 수돗물을 잠그고 비누칠을 구석구석 한 후 수돗물 수업을 약하게 하여 손을 헹굽니다. 양치질은 모두 개인 양치컵을 구비하여 물을 받아 양치합니다. 종이류는 각 반별 개별 박스를 준비하여 분리수거를 철저히 하고 있으며 교사들은 양면지를 사용합니다. 각 반 교실의 불은 소등을 하고 되도록 교무실에 모두 모여서 업무를 봅니다.

Turn off your vehicle when you are waiting more than 30 seconds in a line-up on the road, such as at a train crossing or in a highway construction line-up. You will save yourself fuel, and help reduce pollutants in the air and GHG emissions.

Rent a Hybrid Car
Most executives travel alone, so why would you need a luxury sedan? Instead, look into rental companies that offer hybrid vehicles, which will also save your company in gas money when you have to drive. Can't find a hybrid for rent at your destination? Go for an economy sized car, which is both cheaper to rent and more efficient with fuel.

Speed kills economy
High speeds result in high fuel consumption. At 110 km/h your car can use up to 25% more fuel than it would cruising at 90 km.

Don't Speed
Fuel consumption increases significantly at speeds over 90km/h. At 110km/h your car uses up to 25% more fuel than it would cruising at 90km/h. If your car is fitted with cruise control, using it will help maintain a steadier speed which will help you save fuel and reduce your emissions.

Drive in high gear
The engine runs most efficiently between around 1,500 and 2,500 rpm (lower in diesels). To maintain these low revs you should change up through the gears as soon as practical and before the revs reach 2,500 rpm. Automatic transmissions will shift up more quickly and smoothly if you ease back slightly on the accelerator once the car gathers momentum

Drive Smoothly / Maintain Momentum
Stop / Start driving is much less efficient and more polluting than driving at a constant speed. Keep an eye on the traffic ahead and slow down early by gently lifting your foot off the accelerator whilst keeping the car in gear. This way the traffic may start moving before you reach the vehicle in front allowing you to smoothly and efficiently speed up again.

Remove Unnecessary Loads
Clutter in your boot and interior all adds up to increasing the overall weight of your vehicle, increasing its fuel consumption. Roof Racks also increase drag which has the same effect as carrying around excess weight. Remove roof racks when not in use and only carry what you need to in your boot and vehicle interior.

Avoid speeding and sudden accelerations; both habits guzzle gas. When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. Consolidate daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving.

Keep the engine running at peak performance-a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as recommended in the manual.

Quick oil change shops may urge us to change the oil in our vehicles every 3,000 miles. However, most newer cars don’t need the oil changed that often. In fact, most manufacturers say you can go 7,000 to 10,000 miles without a problem.

Newer vehicles have an oil life meter, don't change it until you need to.

If you drive mostly in town with lots of starts and stops, only fill your gas tank half way. You will get better mileage carrying less weight in gas. It is accelerating from a stop that wastes the most gas.

Replace the plastic cap on the tire’s air valve with a steel cap, which seals much better than the standard issue cap. This is the best tool to keep your tires inflated and generally costs less than one dollar

Keep tank full in winter: Keeping your gas tank full can end up saving you big. When the gas tank isn’t full, the moist air in the gas tank condenses against the inside wall of the tank. This water affects the quality of the fuel, causing starting problems, fuel not being burned efficiently, engine misfiring, and adding strain to the engine.

Put a K&N Air Filter (or comparable) in your car or truck and it will improve your gas mileage. Plus the filter is good for 1 million miles so it lasts the life of your vehicle.
