Our School Eco Code

This week our Eco committee got together to write our Eco Code which is a reminder to us all about the steps we are need to take to help improve our school environment.  This was all their own work and I think their acrostic poem is a fantastic representation of our plans.

Our Eco Action Plan 2023-24

Our Eco Committee have been working hard to agree on their action plan for this session. All of our classes will be working together to reduce our carbon footprint. Primary 2- 7 have other specific targets –

P2 – Energy saving

Aim = to reduce unnecessary electricity usage

P3 – Litter picking

Aim = to improve the environmental quality of the school

P4 – Composting

Aim = to reduce our carbon footprint by reusing food waste

P5 – Recycling

Aim = to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill

All of our aims link to the Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity.

What are the sustainable goals of the UK?

In 2015, the UK Government joined every other country in the world and committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Goals provide a holistic framework to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities, combat catastrophic climate change, and protect our natural environment by 2030.
