Our school enrolled in the 'Cut Your Carbon' campaign for the month of November. I registered the school with 'Eco Schools' who launched the event. Our school's eco team wrote about the campaign in the school newsletter to inform parents/carers about actions they can do at home to reduce their carbon footprint. Class teachers also set the carbon challenge as homework prior to the October half term!

Activity description

Whether you're turning lights off, setting the thermostat lower, cutting out food waste or trying out a low carbon commute, the work you do in school is just the first step.

Sharing the work you've been doing in school with parents/carers and the wider community will inspire your friends and families to make changes in their own homes and workplaces. Newsletter articles, blog posts, letters and more. Why not be as creative as you can to ensure that parents/carers really pay attention.

This activity has a few suggestions for ways that you can spread the word.

Don't forget to record each different activity you do to earn more points.

Remember to send us examples of your work or tag us on Twitter at @EnergySparksUK so we can see the great communication work you've been doing.
