Earth Friends
Our Earth Friends meet on a Monday lunch time and Wednesday after school . They collaborate, discuss and share ideas on ways to make Pinner Wood more sustainable and greener. They are currently working towards achieving Eco-Schools Green Flag status. They completed an evironmental review and some of their current observations are:
1) Need for more recycling outside
2) Helping people in the school understand how energy is used and can be saved
3) Workig towards water saving stratergies and understanding why it is important to save water
4) Continue to support the biodiversity of out school
5) Promoting sustainable transport to school and the school community
The team have created their action plan and are now working towards their key targets.
