Schools Global Footprint helps you to explore and to reduce the environmental effect your school has on the planet. This resource is aimed primarily at the second and third levels, however many schools have also successfully adapted and used the resource at early years and first level.
Schools Global Footprint is made up of two main teaching tools which work hand in hand: an online footprint calculator and a teacher’s handbook.
