Review progress

Watch out! Up to Tuesday 8 Apr 2025 the school used 250 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £37 and generated 33 kg CO2. Make sure lights and electrical equipment are switched off to prevent further waste.

If you choose to leave electrical equipment running, by the end of the holidays you will have used 1,000 kWh, costing £150 and generating 150 kg CO2.
