Greener Schools
Schools are where the next generation can learn how to create green and sustainable places to live and work; both locally and globally. The urgent issue of climate change is where schools can lead by example. A green school uses energy, materials and resources efficiently and sustainably, and provides an exciting learning environment. Existing schools can implement green practices and make changes to structures and materials to reduce their negative impact on both the indoor and outdoor environment. Greening both new and existing schools can improve indoor air quality, save money and reduce greenhouse emissions.
Suffolk’s schools are already engaged in a variety of exciting initiatives to help Suffolk to become the greenest county.
Individual Suffolk schools can be contacted via Suffolk County Council.
