  •  Foster a reasoned and sensitive concern for the quality of the environment and the management of the natural resources.

  • Trees are vital for filtering sun, dust, and noise and for beautifying the school.
  • Indigenous trees, shrubs, and flowers should be planted in the school compound along with edible plants meant to teach children food production and conservation.
  • Trees also have a softening and calming effect on the learning environment and its users.
  • Planning school landscaping is a good way to involve children in the realization of a child-friendly school.

Historically, the production of wood charcoal in locations where there is an abundance of wood dates back to a very ancient period, and generally consists of piling billets of wood on their ends so as to form a conical pile, openings being left at the bottom to admit air, with a central shaft to serve as a flue. The whole pile is covered with turf or moistened clay. The firing is begun at the bottom of the flue, and gradually spreads outwards and upwards. The success of the operation depends upon the rate of the combustion. Under average conditions, 100 parts of wood yield about 60 parts by volume, or 25 parts by weight, of charcoal; small-scale production on the spot often yields only about 50%, while large-scale became efficient to about 90% even by the seventeenth century. The modern process of carbonizing wood, either in small pieces or as sawdust in cast iron retorts, is extensively practiced where wood is scarce, and also for the recovery of valuable byproducts (wood spirit, pyroligneous acid, wood tar), which the process permits. The information given, if accurate, most strongly supports which of the following?
