Best Foot Forward

Having completed a carbon and ecological footprint study of a Worksop school for Balfour Beatty's Transform Schools initiative, BFF were recently invited to present the results to the student council and facilitate a student workshop on how to best reduce the school's footprint. After some fantastic discussions and ideas the Portland School students came up with a wide range of possible actions including introducing a vegetarian day in the canteen, emailing newsletters rather than printing, encouraging staff to car share one day per week and switching from bus travel to walking or cycling. We look forward to catching up with the students of Portland School in the future to see how their actions are making a change.
