Discuss environmental issues in lessons
Encourage students to get involved in projects based around green concerns.
Getting children interested in environmental issues from an early age is a good way to introduce them to the subject and encourage them to think about the future of the planet. Projects of this nature can also be quite practical and interesting for students, meaning that they are more likely to want to be involved in the assignments.
Try to keep pushing an environmental message throughout all lessons, reminding students not to waste paper or other natural resources. Getting children used to thinking in this way will help them to be more environmentally aware at home and in later life.
If students in your school are becoming very interested in the environment, then consider getting involved in the Eco-Schools scheme. By registering with the scheme your school will become part of an international group working towards education for sustainable development and a better quality of life for local and global communities
Becoming an Eco-School can enhance learning styles, raise the school profile and has potential money-saving benefits. It’s a great way to get your students interested in, and focused on, the environment and what it means to them.
