Water is the third theme of the Green-Schools programme. The Water theme looks at developing awareness around water conservation and how to effectively manage this important resource in our schools and at home.
The Water theme is sponsored by Irish Water.
Enough water to make 450 million mugs of coffee was saved by schools participating in Green-Schools during 2016!
