Eco And Organic Schools by Davinos Greeno
To reduce climate change we need
both adults and children to become greener and to think more about the
environment. The question is how do we engage children and pull them away from
the TV and Play station and promote a sense of citizenship and environmental
responsibility in them?
Companies often have environmental policies where
they recycle waster paper, ink cartridges and have energy saving stickers at the
switches to remind people to switch off the lights. Companies are also
increasingly becoming Fairtrade Workplaces by making a commitment to only buy
Fairtrade tea, coffee and sugar. But this is for adults, what about the
children?
Well, the Eco-Schools Programme enables schools to become a
more stimulating place in which to learn about eco issues and the schools
themselves will be able to reduce their environmental impact within the school
itself and the wider community including their own homes.
Once registered
the school will be part of an international group of schools working towards
education for sustainable development and a better quality of life for local and
global communities. This global development perspective will enable them to
better understand poverty and appreciate the work that Live Aid and
international charities such as Oxfam and the Red Cross are doing.
The
Eco-Schools programme provides a simple framework to enable schools to analyze
its operations and become more sustainable. A bit like business re-engineering
in companies but in manageable bite size chunks.
Pupil involvement is a
key part of the Eco-Schools programme. Having pupils engaged in the whole
process, including monitoring, action planning and decision-making, leads to
genuine ownership of the programme and an increase in their sense of
responsibility for the school environment and local area.
There is also
an award scheme that will raise the profile of the school in the wider community
and provide an incentive to participate cheap authentic nfl jerseys. Schools
can also be featured in local and regional media when they reach award
level.
There are three award levels:
� Bronze award -
self-assessed via website leading to a certificate
� Silver award -
self-assessed via website leading to a certificate
� Green Flag - externally
assessed leading to a certificate and flag
Eco-Schools is run
internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). It is
administered by ENCAMS in England and Tidy Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland.
Eco-Schools are supported by a wide variety of partners.
Organic
Issues
If the school also wants to learn about organic issues then the
Soil Association is encouraging the use of organic and local produce in school
meals by running a Food for Life workshop at interested schools nfl jerseys. It is a one day
workshop for key stage two pupils. It is run by the Soil Associations education
department. The workshop provides children with an opportunity to consider
healthy eating, local and organic food through the theme of
choices.
Schools also need information on good practice when sourcing
healthy food for school meals discount nfl jerseys. Schools can
further improve childrens diets and increase their understanding of food by
means of farm visits, and classroom activities. Wouldnt it be wonderful if all
schools could have gardens so that kids can see that food doesnt come just from
packets or appear miraculously in shops?
