Greener Schools/Colleges Leaders

As a Greener School/College Project Leader, you’ll work with pupils, parents and staff to help them make CO2 savings and help the environment. After attending the Community Leaders training course, you’ll co-ordinate a School/College project for 6 months with the help of other Climate Squad volunteers and the central team. You’ll start by helping your school or college to measure how much waste it is producing, and then meet with teachers and pupils monthly to help them go green. This is a great way to help children and young people understand how they can help the environment, and by getting parents involved, this project can cut further carbon emissions and increase recycling at home, too. Endorsed by the United Nations Environment Programme, this project has the potential to reduce waste by an average of 40% (based on previous programmes) and give a new generation the skills to protect their environment. The next training will be held in London and Chester, March 2010!
