An eco-audit is an evaluation system in which the environmental damage produced through the data and analysis obtained is analyzed and examined.
-What is the objective of an eco-audit?
Improve the environmental damage produced through proposals by creating an attitude of respect for the environment and knowing if we are being sustainable, thus becoming aware of the impact of our garbage and how we can improve.
-What aspects should be audited?
● In our highschool: air conditioning costs, electricity consumption (computers, lights, printer...), water consumption…
● In your home: Electricity consumption, moderate water consumption, reduce the use of family transportation.
-What should be expected as a result when an eco-audit is carried out?
After obtaining a concrete result from the analyzes carried out, it is hoped that an action plan will be drawn up to improve the environmental impact caused as well as to raise awareness among all members of the group about consumption problems.

What are the sustainable development goals?
With these new universally applicable Goals, over the next 15 years countries will intensify efforts to end poverty in all its forms, reduce inequality and fight climate change while ensuring that no one is left behind. The SDGs build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals and seek to go further to end poverty in all its forms. The new goals are unique in that they call on all countries, whether rich, poor or middle-income, to take action to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.
