Go Green 4 Schools is a non-profit campaign that was launched in 2007 to help increase awareness and action in the fight against climate change.

Climate change and global warming are the biggest threats facing mankind today, it is our actions now and those in the future that will help reduce our impact and advert irreversible and catastrophic changes to our planet. It is our goal to help the younger generation understand the implications of climate change and provide motivation for positive lifestyle choices by all.

Through Go Green 4 schools you can have your voice heard and see your actions make a difference, it's our world and your future, so join us on our journey of change.

The behaviour of today's schoolchildren is the key to averting dangerous climate change. As a government, we are putting in place the framework needed to make our contribution to a global deal on climate change. But we all need to live differently in a low carbon world and Go Green 4 Schools helps children and young people learn how to live in future.

If, like our school, you are keen to practice environmental responsibility (as well as teach it), you will be as frustrated as I am about the amount of junk mail that drops through the school letterbox on a daily basis.

This stack of unwanted and unsolicted advertising imapacts on both the school, and more, importantly the environment.

- Junk mail wastes precious resources
- Junk mail creates extra work in order for it to be recycled correctly
- Junk mail costs schools money to dispose of

WE WANT TO PUT A STOP TO IT!

Billions of plastic carrier bags are handed out in the UK each year. It's easy to find yourself down the shops without any other way of getting your shopping home.

So be prepared and keep a stash of plastic bags by the door, so you remember to take a couple when you pop out. Even better, take a reusable one instead. You can buy a Go Green 4 Schools bag from you school for just £1.50.
