What strategy is described as an effective way to make a school more environmentally friendly?

• A. Use more technology in the classroom to save paper
• B. Print more worksheets to support learning
• C. Ban laptops and tablets from the classroom
• D. Keep the current approach to resource use

Answer: (A)

Using more technology in the classroom to save paper centers on digitizing materials, assignments, and communications so less paper is produced and discarded. When teachers share digital resources, students submit work electronically, and notes are taken on devices, the school cuts paper use, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact tied to paper production and disposal. This approach also often saves costs over time and can streamline learning processes.

Printing more worksheets would increase paper consumption and waste, making the environment less friendly. Banning laptops and tablets limits the school’s ability to switch to digital materials, which is the pathway to reducing paper use. Keeping the current approach leaves resource use unchanged and misses the chance to lower environmental impact.
