How to create a green campus

Since the moment when the white dove took the olive Ye Fei in the sky, that touch of green has been endowed with too many meanings-peace, health and friendship ... With the progress of human beings, people's understanding of the world has become more profound, that is, protecting the environment and protecting their homes is as important as protecting their lives. As a result, a "green revolution" swept the world. The meaning of "green" is not only a color concept, but also a synonym for public welfare action. As an educational base, schools are even more duty-bound to thoroughly implement "green" education. Besides inculcating pure knowledge about "greening", we should not ignore the "greening" construction of learning places.

Indeed, the concept of "green" is of great significance to the school. In this crowded place, people's needs are the first problem to be paid attention to, from spiritual and cultural needs to basic physiological comfort needs can not be ignored. Most people who study and live in school are minors. Fresh air, colorful campus and harmonious teaching are all basic needs for education. Just from the basic meaning of "green", it is very important for students.

While recognizing the importance of building a "green school", the key is to look at actions. Specifically, the "green school" can be divided into two parts for construction, namely, campus greening and campus concept greening.

Make the campus "green"

The first impression of every teacher and student who enters the school must be the "natural beauty" of the school. Indeed, under the contrast of natural beauty, the youthful spirit of young people will come to us. Therefore, campus greening is a compulsory course in every school.

First of all, we can't ignore the green area of the school. Generally speaking, the baseline of green area of a medium-sized school should be 35%. Of course, this figure depends on the actual situation of different schools. While considering the construction of teaching venues, schools with a large area should not be stingy with the reservation of green areas. This not only makes the school planning and construction beautiful, but also affects the physical factors such as air index and noise index in the surrounding areas of the campus. In the long run, an appropriate amount of green area can also be effectively put into practical educational activities, such as tree planting activities, environmental protection knowledge activities, simple labor organizations, etc., which are also part of the overall quality training of students. If the school itself occupies a limited area and it is difficult to expand the green area, it is suggested that we can make a fuss about the space expansion, such as planning the green belt on the wall, campus fence, balcony and other positions, which can also meet the demand of increasing the green coverage area. But in any case, starting from reality, developing the school green area according to local conditions is the foundation of greening construction.

Secondly, the selection of plants for greening should be scientific, reasonable and appropriate. For example, when choosing the range of green vegetation, it can be considered that less pollution, less hair and no thorns, no irritating smell, or beautiful shape, color and smell, or certain historical and cultural connotations, and the degree of trampling resistance of lawns are all considered. Different schools should also fully consider the influence of various factors when choosing vegetation, and strive to match it reasonably and scientifically. For example, students' physiological and psychological characteristics should be considered in the selection of tree species: lively, curious and flexible, so tree species with color change and fragrance are a good range to consider; In the teaching area, avoid planting flying trees (such as poplars and willows) and some plants with allergic reactions; Planting a beautiful autumn leaf plant ginkgo biloba or small evergreen tree photinia on both sides of the campus passage or the gate will increase the beauty and comfort of the school; Planting a low evergreen tree juniper at a certain distance from the window can not only properly block the sun but also keep ventilation; Trees should be used to form a dense tree belt between the sports ground and the teaching area to avoid being disturbed by venue activities and sounds during class; Trees and vines are mixed around the campus to form a dense green belt, which isolates the campus from the outside world and creates a quiet learning environment.

Thirdly, rational allocation of greening layout. In a school with both horizontal floor space and building space, the horizontal distribution of greening should be considered at the same time as the vertical spatial distribution, which will often achieve unexpected results. For example, the establishment of roof garden can not only make the originally dull roof full of vitality, but also solve the problem of cool sun and high temperature of the roof in summer, which is a good choice for aerial greening; There are also economical potted plants, which make full use of the window sill of each classroom and place some flowers and plants with high survival rate, which can not only beautify the environment but also effectively adjust the indoor air quality, and is also a good way to expand the green space; Secondly, the combination of flower stands and chlorophytum, the greening of teaching facilities is often a difficult problem, small area and poor lighting are unfavorable conditions for plant growth, but the combination of flower stands and chlorophytum suitable for moving and saving space can solve some problems. According to the change of seasons, schools can organically combine different potted plants, and combine the use of air space to match a varied, convenient and practical small landscape, adding color to inconspicuous corners, corridors and "dead corners". However, this greening should take into account the firmness and safety requirements of the landscape to avoid danger; Furthermore, ivy, wisteria and other vines are also effective means to expand the green space. This kind of plants occupy a small area, and their growth characteristics are "in the air". They can make good use of walls, fences and other factors to increase the green area invisibly, and at the same time, they can create a special green campus, which is also a good choice for greening the campus.

Finally, make full use of green space and actively carry out "green education" for students. Students are a part of the school. While providing students with a good space and environment, they should also learn how to maintain and participate. The first step is appreciation. Only by establishing the cognition of beauty can love be born. What is cultivated in this is the students' aesthetic ability. The second step is labor. No one can enjoy it easily, but it takes labor to realize the true meaning of beauty. Allowing students to participate in appropriate and timely greening work can not only increase their ability to recognize nature, but also establish the virtue of labor, which is also an indispensable part of all-round quality education. The third step is to learn to protect. A good environment depends on good maintenance. Knowing the hardships of labor will naturally cherish the fruits of labor. From a small point of view, it is the love for a green belt, a small potted plant and a small tree, and by extension, it is the cultivation of the awareness and action of environmental protection. As the saying goes, it is natural to cultivate "green habits" in a green environment. It should become an important part of comprehensive education in schools.

building a campus with "green concept"

It is not a difficult thing to "green" the campus in action, but it is important to plan and implement it reasonably. As long as the relevant departments of the school really move, the image of the school will definitely be greatly improved. However, just planting flowers and grass is a relatively superficial "green action". As mentioned earlier, the scope of "green" is quite broad, not only in the action of afforestation, but also in all aspects of school construction to reflect the "green concept" from all angles. Only in this way can we build a truly "green campus" in all directions.

The first is the greening of campus infrastructure. This mainly refers to the introduction of "green" concept into the construction of campus hardware facilities. For example, the environmental choice of school building materials-now the building decoration market has fully started "green consumption", which fully considers the health needs of consumers. Learning in a pollution-free and healthy environment is a necessary condition that schools should first provide to students; In addition, the greening of building layout is also an important part of school infrastructure. Every school will have a certain number of stairs, corners, open spaces and corridors. These spaces will be rationally laid out and their respective purposes will be brought into play. At the same time, human needs, such as lighting of stairs, buffering and protection of corners, leveling and greening of open spaces, design and utilization of corridors, should be considered as much as possible. Thinking about these links is a reflection of "greening" and "human culture". Then there is the scientific and rational campus management, which regulates local air quality, noise pollution, garbage and sewage discharge through the campus's own vegetation layout, so as to form a clean, beautiful and ecological virtuous circle environment on campus, which is also part of the campus infrastructure.

Secondly, the educational concept is "green". This is a proposal for educators. As an education-oriented campus, every educator bears a certain sense of responsibility and mission, and teachers will use various appropriate means and methods when teaching knowledge. However, in today's society, in the face of students' all-round quality growth and people-oriented teaching needs, teachers' teaching methods should also incorporate appropriate "green" concepts. For example, the mutual promotion between teachers and students has transformed the original cramming and indoctrination into communication and discussion. What is more important here is the mutual respect and understanding between educators and learners. On this basis, learning is bound to be "relaxed" and autonomous. This educational concept of "keeping things quiet" is itself a kind of "spiritual green".

Thirdly, starting health education and improving students' psychological quality is also an important link of "greening" campus education. The premise of quality education is that there are some deviations and problems in the overall quality growth of students because of too much emphasis on exam-oriented education. The rapid development of the times and the continuous deterioration of the social environment can not but arouse our educators' vigilance, such as the propaganda of bad media, the erosion of bad websites, the infection of bad social atmosphere and habits, and so on, which ultimately has a great impact on the positive education of schools. Many students even have some psychological defects, including the serious lack of psychological education and personality education in schools. Therefore, how to establish a mental health education mechanism is an urgent task for schools at present, which needs to establish a green channel among schools, parents, teachers and students, in a harmonious and healthy atmosphere, to improve students' spiritual concern, enhance students' self-confidence, and cultivate a spirit of courage and positive commitment. At the same time, it requires educators to strive to create this peaceful, friendly and healthy spiritual "green environment".

generally speaking, while every school pays attention to the substantial green indicators, it should not ignore the spiritual concept of green. More importantly, every educator should re-understand the practical significance of the glorious title of "gardener", because while cultivating talents, we are still sowing hope for the future.
