Eco Awareness Week


More than 40% of Co2 emissions
are the direct result of
the actions taken by individuals


Week commencing 14 April we will be launching an Eco Awareness Week in school, where there will be something different happening in school each day.

On the Monday we will be kicking it all off with a ‘Make a Pledge’ day. We will be in Mall asking everyone in school to make a pledge for how they can reduce their Carbon Footprint for that week )and hopefully even longer). There will be lots of suggestion such as:


√ Change your light bulbs to low energy ones
√ Turn off the light when you go out of a room
√ Turn all appliances off at the wall after use
√ Boil only enough water for your drink – don’t fill the kettle right up
√ Turn off your mobile phone charger as soon as the phone is charged up
√ Only buy food from Europe, reduce your food air miles
√ Don’t buy food containing palm oil
√ Recycle cans/plastic/paper
√ Check everything is off in your classroom at lunchtime and at the end of the day.

There will be a free treat for everyone who makes a pledge, so start thinking about what you can do and come and see us.


If you have any other suggestions for what we can all do to reduce our Carbon Footprint, then add your comments here.
