Resources This section contains all the resources available for teachers to use on their Eco-Schools journey. Use the tabs on the left (or the tag cloud button below) to select your topic, our Eco-Inspriations and case studies (one of the best ways to learn how to implement the programme in your own school can be by seeing how it works in other schools). Download these as additional resources for: classroom activities, teacher ideas (linked into some of our eleven environmental topics), aids in your Green Flag applications, and knowledge of the Eco-Schools programme.

Use this to encourage students to think about the SDGs that link to plastic, issues and the potential solutions. Ask students to add drawings or words in the blank hexagons to show connections and learnings. keywords: teacher resources
