Eco-friendly approach refers to a friendly and healthy relationship between human beings and their surroundings. It is the responsibility of every person to take good care of his or her surrounding environment. Eco-friendly practices and products inflict no threat to the environment. Products and practices conserve and protect natural resources. They have the least negative impacts on land, water and air. The products are nature friendly and are less harmful to the environment.

With the minimum use of teaching resources a teacher can make his classroom smarter, better and effective than before. Reduction of  paper wastage, discouraging the students from bringing plastic bags, starting a zero waste classroom policy, helping the student to make his lunch time green  may do a lot to make the classroom environmental friendly. The use of bins in the classroom for the collection of wastage also helps make the classroom clean.

The next step would be to providing the concept of RRRs (Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce). Managing a garden and additional bins on the ground for waste collection in the school premise would be an added asset. It helps children develop a connection with the environment through both learning and experience. This is cost effective and requires no additional effort.

Though a little bit costly, the teacher can replace his marker board with a smart board and make his classroom digital by maximizing the use of technology. We have done a lot of paper pencil work in our life but for now the teacher can replace his conventional approach of teaching. Instead of giving students paper pencil assignments, he can make a student plunge into the vast realm of a virtual world. Use of technology in the classroom helps in less use of paper which helps nature conservation as paper is made from trees. The teacher can revise his syllabus and make it online so that the students can read online allowing them to submit their assignments online. The present generation is smarter, better, and more advanced. Teaching such a generation with innovative concept is always fun for the teachers and students. Most of the teachers in their career think that they are serving the best to produce well behaved, educated and responsible citizens for the nation. Protection of the nature and its resources for keeping our surrounding green can begin from the classroom and teachers can do it easily.
