UK Celebrates Success Of Eco-Schools
Over half of schools in England have achieved Eco-School status, UK Environment Secretary Hilary Benn announced today.
“Schools have an important part to play in helping young people to build a greener future for us all and it’s young people that will lead the way in creating a healthy environment for future generations,” says Secretary Benn.
Run by Keep Britain Tidy, the Eco-Schools program encourages children and teachers to make their school more environmentally-friendly and sustainable. They follow a simple seven step process covering themes including waste, healthy living and biodiversity.
