It encourages schools to think about their environmental management with the help of pupils. They have to help make decisions and make it a success.
Infants, primary, secondary and special needs schools can all apply to be an eco-school.
There are seven main areas that an eco-school has to look at:
- Waste Minimisation;
- Healthy Living;
- School Grounds; and
- Global Citizenship.
The eco-schools programme is run by Keep Wales Tidy. To find out more and register your school visit the Eco-schools website.
