We are the water group, we do regular maintenance on filling up five gallon water jugs and lots of other things, monitoring water in the aquaponics. One favor that we have is to keep on the urinal project. So far we calculated that the urinals waste 671,760 gallons of water and $2,985 per school year. We raised awareness by telling the PPS board about this horrible problem.
One of the most important things about our green team is not forgetting to do maintenance. Filling up water jugs every couple days and filtering it to go into the aquaponics is very important. If there is not enough water in the aquaponics, the whole system will fail. Instead of racing off to play soccer or basketball or whatever, spend a few minutes in the garden at recess.
We regularly update the program (Programmed in VB.NET and C++) and reprogram it, the c++ one has the dementions to enter though. If you are not familiar with programming in VB.NET please get VB.NET for dummies, it is extremely simple and helps you learn how to get programming ASAP.
You will want to use systems thinking and see how you can stack functions [leverage] and try to avoid unintended consequences. In systems thinking it is okay to make small mistakes but observe it and know not to make that mistake again.
Kaizen (continuous improvement) is also very important Class of 2011-2012 started raising money for the water bottle filling station and us (the class of 2012-2013) finished it. This is kaizen. Creativity is a big part of kaizen.
Most important: Be slow and steady like a tortoise and not fast without thinking like a hare. For example don’t run off during discussion before you know what to do.
