The campaign
We can help to connect and support schools to do more within the classroom, to tackle the fabric and the outside of their buildings and to help guide young people into the green work sector after high school.By signposting to associated projects and partners who are carrying out work in Greater Manchester, we hope that we can all make a big difference today, tomorrow and together.
How you can make a difference
Here’s what schools can do to make a difference in and out of the classroom:
- Reduce the amount of waste you produce and use reusable products
- Cut down the amount of plastics you use
- Buy sustainable products
- Look at alternatives to purchasing large items such as lease agreements or take-back schemes
- Recycle as much as you can
- Reduce the amount of food you waste
- Support local food growing and redistribution initiatives and organisations
