Embedding+Sustainability+in+British+Schools

== A commitment to care   ==

 Sustainable schools have a caring ethos – care for oneself, for each other (across cultures, distances and generations) and for the environment itself (far and near).  Schools are already caring places, but a sustainable school extends this commitment into new areas. It cares about the energy and water it consumes, the waste it reduces, the food it serves, the traffic it attracts, and the difficulties faced by the people living in its community and in other parts of the world.

The documents on this page highlight the practice, research, and ongoing implementation of the sustainable school concept in schools across the United Kingdom.
