  1. All pupils will have a clear connection between climate change and carbon emissions due to use of energy.

  2. All pupils will have monitored their family energy consumption over different periods of time to achieve a reliable carbon footprint at home.

  3. Pupils and staff will have clear strategies for the most effective ways of reducing carbon emissions.

  4. One hundred and thirty P7/S1 pupils will reduce their home carbon footprint by 3% within 2 years and a further 130 P7 pupils by 1% within 1 year.

  5. Overall approximately 392 tonnes of carbon should be saved from households and an estimated 90 tonnes from school buildings in two years.  The sustainability built into the project by introducing resources and learning into schools would ensure similar results in future years.

 

Schools are generally receptive to the project as it dovetails with Curriculum for Excellence cross-cutting themes including

  • Enterprise
  • Numeracy
  • Eco-schools
  • Primary secondary transition
  • School - Community links
