'Green Day' for schools across the country
More than 100,000 young people across the country are taking part in Green Day, Britain's biggest day of action on climate change and the built environment, organised by CABE.

Held on World Environment Day - Friday 5 June - and over the following two weeks, Green Day is a fun way to learn serious lessons about how we can tackle climate change.

How Green Day works
A typical Green Day could see pupils wearing an item of green clothing to school - a journey they make on foot or bike - and taking part in a debate on whose role it is to deal with global warming. In ICT, they could create podcasts on how their city could reduce its energy use. In science, more senior pupils might make their own bio diesel, and in art create a sculpture from recycled materials.
