You observe that many of the students of your school leave lights and fans turned on in classrooms while they go out for some activity periods. You feel this is a very bad practice which wastes the country’s resource as well. Discuss with your partner: • What problems do you think this could cause? • What should your reaction be? • How should other students react to something like this? • What should the teachers and school authority do to solve this problem? • Would your effort make the others realize something? • How can you create awareness regarding such things? • How would your parents consider the matter? • What role can students like you play to check such actions? • Who else do you think can help you solve this problem? • What do you think could be an incentive to motivate students to turn off lights and fans?

ST1: did you see in some of the classes the students leave the lights and fans on when they leave the class? its really worrying sight nowadays given the truth that we are exhausting the natural resources.
ST2: i am in complete concord with you .once principal was sending the children back to the class what was wrong . they came and apologised that they left the lights and fans on
St1.what role do you think can we students play in this .to check- i have many times gone and switched off the lights .
St2. We could announce rewards or appreciation for the classes that are regular in switching off. We should play some skits creating an awareness among all the students .
St1. We can stick some posters in the bulletin boards encouraging conservation of energy resources .and the house captains and vice captains as well as leaders of clases should be sent to inspect this and given responsibility as well in checking these.
