The fight is on for a living planet
At 8.30pm on Saturday 30 March 2019 hundreds of millions of people across the world will be turning out their lights and coming together to celebrate Earth Hour. It’s a time to show we care about our world and a symbolic reminder that the future of our planet hangs in the balance.
INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION
For over 30 years, we’ve been working with schools and educators to inspire young people to make positive choices for a more sustainable future.
Our work with schools inspires and supports young people to build their knowledge and understanding, develop their skills, and explore their values so they're motivated and equipped to enjoy and care for our beautiful planet.

Resources for Head Teachers and Eco-Leaders

Drawing on this learning, we've developed a series of resources for teachers, headteachers and eco-leaders to support them on their sustainability journey. They are intended for teachers working at Key Stages 2 and Key Stage 3, student teachers, eco-leaders and headteachers who have an interest in creating more sustainable schools.
