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.
