How "Eco" is Eco-Schools?
Keep Britain Tidy was put under the spotlight recently as our eco credentials were put to the test.
To promote Green Britain Day on the 17th June 2010 Woodfield Primary School turned the tables on Keep Britain Tidy's Eco-Schools programme to find out just how eco-friendly we are!
The pupils visited our Wigan head office to carry out an environmental review of the building.
The activity was designed to show how schools that have achieved their Eco-school status can interact with their wider community.
Green Britain Day is a focal point for people to take action towards a more sustainable lifestyle. The landmark initiative aims to inspire the nation to work together and lower Great Britain’s carbon footprint by the time the Olympic and Paralympic Games arrive in London in 2012. The day forms part of the wider Eco-Schools partnership with the Pod which is supporting thousands of schools as they take up their mission to become greener.
