They Did It!
Why not follow the example of the Mill Hill School environment team who organised an awesome sustainable fortnight focused on ‘Travel and Trafic’.
Students organised
- a walk to school day
- a cycle to school day
- AND a car-free day.
They increased the number of cyclists tenfold, which might have had something to do with the free breakfast and bike maintenance checks. The whole fortnight was a big competition between forms to see which could reduce car journeys the most and prizes were donated by the local council.
Raise some cash
Donate your petrol money to People & Planet - The average drive to school is 3 miles so most people will save at least £2 by cycling, walking or taking the bus. Ask staff and students to donate the money saved to People & Planet’s Go Green campaign.
Sponsored walk - Get students, staff and parents moving and raising cash for People & Planet with a sponsored 3-5 km walk. You can now do all your fundraising online by setting up a webpage with justgiving
