Net Zero Schools Advisers come to Devon!
We’re really excited this week as we met the new Let’s Go Zero Climate Advisers for schools across the South West. They are ready to help schools reach net zero by 2030. They offer schools free and impartial support and advice. You can contact them on their website here: Climate Action Advisors – Lets Go Zero
What is a Net Zero School?
A school that, on its site and through all its activities and procurement, does not contribute to climate change through carbon emissions. Schools that sign up at the website Let’s Go Zero 2030 will receive advice in producing actions that will reduce carbon in their schools in some key areas including energy use, travel, waste, water, procurement, food and school grounds.
Join nearly 100 Devon schools in declaring that the future will be net zero! You can sign up your school on the Let’s Go Zero website here: Join for zero carbon schools • Lets Go Zero
Watch out on this website for more posts about teaching children about climate change and saving waste and energy in schools.
In the meantime why not email us at lucy.mottram@devon.gov.uk if you have any good stories about something your school has done to reduce waste or carbon!
