Success stories:
Disposable Water Bottle Free School: After observing an over consumption of disposable water bottles at AIS-R, we determined that the addition of water purifying fountains would benefit the local and global environment. We installed 52 water fountains and bottle filling stations around campus and, as of January 9, 2017, we are a disposable water bottle free school
AIS-R has purchased a Waste Composting Machine. This will be used to compost almost all of our school waste and we will eventually open this up to our community
