Though TSD\u2019s state-of-the-art educational and residential facilities are fully equipped to meet the diverse needs of its student body, often repair and renovation funds are the first to go when budgets are tightened. With the grant, TSD\u2019s green upgrades help the school address energy use, conservation and waste with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy efficient upgrades:\n<ul>\n<li>Retrofitting light fixtures to allow for energy efficient bulbs \u2013 TSD will save enough energy to power an energy efficient 2 bedroom home for a year!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Water conservation:\n<ul>\n<li>Replace manual faucets with an automatic technology \u2013 with these new faucets, TSD will save enough water to fill 9 swimming pools!<\/li>\n<li>Install rain barrels to collect for water from the roof to use on campus to water areas that do not have irrigation.\u00a0 In addition, students learn vital functions of rainwater harvesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Waste reduction:\n<ul>\n<li>Install hands-free hand dryers in restrooms which saves paper and materials from going to the landfills.\u00a0 The new dyers take half the electricity to run and are also antimicrobial removing 98% of bacteria.<\/li>\n<li>Water Filtration: TSD spends $20,000 in bottled water every year \u2013 switching to reusable bottles and installing a tap filtration system allows funds saved to be put back into education.\u00a0 The new water filtration system will save TSD 88,000 bottles of water each school year!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Educate student body on recycling:\n<ul>\n<li>Install recycling bins across campus, making them readily available next to every trashcan, would make recycling easier and encourage recycling campus-wide.<\/li>\n<li>Educate school community on recycling and spread habits to home life as well would support a greener lifestyle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the next two years, Global Green USA will work closely with TSD to track the results of this green school makeover,\u201d said\u00a0Matt\u00a0Petersen, President and CEO of Global Green USA.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s our hope that TSD will be an inspiration to
