Sustainability
Schools and businesses alike are being tasked to become sustainable in order to meet the UK's Net Zero targets. But what does being sustainable mean?
It means adopting practices that reduce environmental impact and conserving resources for future generations. This might mean reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, promoting recycling and educating students about environmental responsibility. These sustainability practices help us make positive changes for our planet.
The Importance of Sustainability in Schools
Why is sustainability in schools such a big issue?
Schools are big energy users, so the Department of Education has tasked them to have a climate action plan in place, as well as introduce a dedicated sustainability lead by 2025 as they continually work towards Net Zero. But sustainability within education isn't pie in the sky - it can be achieved with a combination of action and behavioural change. Turn off light switches when a room is empty, but teach people to understand why it's necessary, too.
