Students on Cowes Enterprise College’s Eco Council have earned an international accreditation this academic year, recognising their amazing work in making their school more environmentally friendly and raising eco-awareness in fellow pupils.
Eco-Schools is an international education programme that prompts young people to explore sustainability and climate change and take action.
Students at the academy collaborated to conduct an environmental review, assessing how eco-friendly their school is. They reviewed everything from the school’s recycling practices, to energy usage, to how environmental themes are covered in classrooms. Building on their findings, the pupils planned a year of activities that would up their green credentials.
Principal Rachel Kitley has said:
“Earning an Eco-Schools Green Flag Award takes passion, commitment and a desire to make a difference. Students should be proud of their great work. They’re an inspiration and it makes us feel heartened and positive about the future of our planet.”
Heartened and positive about the future of the planet? instead of filling their heads with greenwash misinformation, try teaching them some real life skills. in the real world, Oil and coal consumption are at record levels and will continue to increase, global meat consumption is increasing too. ruining kids lives by turning them into hysterical eco freaks is a bad thing, the school and teachers should be ashamed of their behaviour.
Some decent kids achieve something and still there are old farts like you moaning about them.
Why couldn’t you put your political bias on hold and just congratulated them or just said nothing at all. I suppose you’d prefer they were bunking off and hanging around the town?
Great they won an eco award – not so great that 42% of students didn’t get a grade 5 or above in English or Maths last year…but yay it’s an eco friendly school!
The Government works in a similar fashion – masks major failings and incompetence by embellished ‘1st/best at something – anything’. It’s a strategy that fools the fools. Whilst on the subject of hypocrisy – how did they get to Africa on that charity exercise? Walked?

Nicely done!

Oh my good grief.
Some kids do something positive and the old grunters are out in force moaning and downvoting the one person who offered unadulterated praise.
Shameful and pathetic behavior.
