While the Seven Steps and the Seven-Step methodology are the most important aspect of the Eco-Schools programme, we have found that working with Themes can also be a great help in giving the programme even more structure.

For the purpose of the Environmental Review there are 9 main Themes.  These are:

Waste Management

  • Ineffective solid waste management has been a huge problem around the world especially in Thailand. In this topic, the students will learn about the impacts from solid waste problem in the school and an effective waste management such as 3Rs which are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

  • Energy plays a main role in the climate change as its process produces the most CO2 compare with other topics. The effective energy consumption helps reducing the impact from the climate change. The students will learn on energy efficiency such as behavior change and electricity label reading.

Water Resources

  • Water is life. Everyone should understand an important of water and how to manage it with the least water pollution.
