Teaching a sustainable lifestyle

Our greatest hopes for a sustainable world lie within our education system. One of the most important lessons you can teach is the importance of resource efficiency, sustainability and respect for the environment.

Resource Futures has many years experience in providing the tools and advice you need to communicate the right messages effectively. We can also help you meet your school’s own environmental aims - like reducing electricity use in your establishment.

We can give you access to a range of services designed to teach pupils of all ages the importance of sustainability and waste minimisation. In some areas these services are subsidised bythe local authority and may even be free, services include:

  • Activity plans and classroom resources linked to the curriculum at every level
  • Resources that can be used in play
  • Teacher training
  • Improving the school's own resource use, including support on recycling and composting in school
  • Helping you evaluate the work you are doing

Our way of working makes use of the all-round expertise we have within Resource Futures. You benefit from a service that is fully joined up from conception to delivery. This way we can be sure that all the separate elements are working together to provide the very best solution for your particular needs.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Good Practice Guidance

Whilst Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling activity is firmly established in the UK, its collection and treatment is a rapidly growing and evolving sector.
