Schools should:
•integrate sustainable development into their development plans and ensure that resources and training are available to support it
•identify a key person to manage and coordinate sustainable development within and outside the classroom •give all pupils the opportunity to learn about and take an active part in promoting sustainability within the school and beyond, through membership of school councils, eco councils and other groups
•give all pupils the opportunity to put their understanding of local issues into a global context, so that they see how their decisions can have an impact on others now and in the future.

“I use my waste food material to make biogas and ask my neighbours to give me theirs. The result is that the area is much cleaner as food waste is not thrown around; the street dogs do not scavenge and there are no flies”
Mrs Salunkhe, a customer from the Warje District of Pune
“I earn almost 40% of my income by installing the compact biogas plants”
Mr.Satish Raikar
Sustainable energy: everyday stories
As farmers, we can easily lay our hands on damaged grain and overripe and unmarketable fruits. I thus cook using gas which is absolutely free of cost”
Mrs. Badve
