What are some Renewable Energy Sources?

a group of kids from my school (including me) want to make our school carbon neutral and for the project we want to put solar panels and wind turbines (not the huge ones) on our school what are some other Renewable Energy Sources?

Try to find a way to heat water using sunlight instead of the hot water heater. Showers some people use in camping, for example, have metallic bags to collect sunlight and heat water, you might be able to try something like that on a large scale.

The biggest carbon footprint is going to be in heating and cooling. Do without A/C in the warm months. Close the school in the winter and go during the summer to avoid heating the building. In the cooler times, like spring and fall, dress warm enough to do without turning the heat on. As long as you keep that A/C and heat off, you will go a huge way toward being carbon neutral.
