An annual event, Green Britain Day is a focal point for people to take action towards a more sustainable lifestyle. The landmark initiative aims to inspire the nation to work together and lower the UK’s carbon footprint by the time the Olympic and Paralympic Games arrive in London in 2012. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humankind and EDF Energy believes that we can only tackle the issues we face by ensuring that all of us act together now.

Pupils at our school took part in a ‘Leaf Pledge’ activity. A pledge stating specifically how one would help the environment was written on a paper leaf. The leaves were then used to make a ‘Pledge Tree’. Lessons on sustainability and climate change were also taught throughout the day.
