eg magazine sustainability, resource efficiency & climate change

Schools account for around 2% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, roughly the same as all the energy and transport emissions of Birmingham and Manchester combined. This is equivalent to 15% of the country’s public sector emissions -this arises from energy use in school buildings, school travel and transport, the procurement of goods and services and the production of waste in schools.

This consultation is to gather stakeholder views on the feasibility and priority of options for action in the sector, to reduce carbon and greenhouse gases arising from the operation of the school system, while still delivering core business. 
Consultation deadline: Friday 20 November 2009
