We are working on updating our Energy theme. Schools that were awarded the Green Flag for the Litter and Waste theme in 2020 will move directly to the Water theme next, and re-visit the Energy theme at a later stage. This theme looks at the steps which can be taken to reduce energy consumption and raise awareness of climate change issues.
In 2019/2020 Green-Schools students saved 29 million units of electricity – That’s enough to boil a kettle 290 million times!
