Creating Greener, Responsible Schools that Empower Young People
Our vision for a better future
We have big ambitions to help schools in the UK and internationally to cut their footprint and become sustainable. We want to empower students take an active role and become change-makers.
We aim to build a network of schools all working towards or building on Responsible School Status, allowing students to share successes with others, create league tables and offer awards.
