Let's Build A Greener, Brighter Future Together!
Eco- Warriors
The Schools Net Zero Toolkit has resources and tools to help schools and home education groups in their response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency.
This toolkit is designed to support schools to educate young people and offers practical tips that can be used not only in school but also at home.
Many schools are making a difference to Climate Change through their Climate Action Projects, schemes and initiatives, and we can all work together to continue the good work that is already happening.
If you have any resources or tools that we can share here, to help other school communities, please contact the Councils Eco-Education Project Manager by email: CarbonNeutral.Education@cornwall.gov.uk
