Schools and energy saving
The Energy Certification for Schools
Programme
Thankfully things seem to be gathering pace in relation to climate change, sustainability and environmental issues especially in the area of energy management within schools.
 |
 |
The 'must see' web
site from the DfES can be found at www.est.org.uk/schools -
or click the Energy Saving Trust link shown on
this page. |
The site is practical, informative and supportive on many levels,
presenting opportunities to enhance school management and curriculum development, even to those schools currently leading in terms of
exemplary practice in energy/utility management.

The Green Roadshow
The Green Roadshow was
conceived in response to the ever increasing
pressures upon our fragile eco-system. Its
unique variety of fascinating exhibits, combined
with a continuous programme of environmentally
themed entertainment ensures that there is always
something for everyone to see and do. All of
the displays in the the Roadshows are attended by
people with many years of practical experience in
their various fields.
Visit www.greenroadshow.co.uk
to see their lively and graphically rich web
site. This is a great way for all the family
to become involved in an exciting range of
environmentally-friendly activities.

A message from Tony Howell
|
|

I would like to welcome you to the Sustainability web site, and to ask you to consider the vital work undertaken throughout Birmingham to promote vital issues surrounding our environment. The work of the Sustainability Action Pioneers is of particular interest to me, and I have no hesitation in commending this group to you all.
Birmingham aspires to be a ‘learning city’ in which people live in harmony with each other and identify with their community, place and neighbourhood; which they

|
|
|
|
perceive as safe; where there are signs of economic prosperity and voluntary sector activity; where services are
well-managed and responsive - in short, a learning city of flourishing
neighbourhoods.
We believe there is great value in providing information about our services and sharing wider ideas about education generally and school improvement in particular - and ways in which learning achieves success for all. In this way we are able to engage effectively with the learning community that is Birmingham and ensure that we learn from each other.
