Themes

The key themes are that individual actions have consequences, some of these are detrimental to our health and environment and many of them can be reduced or prevented.

Curriculum

At present our resources are aimed at the Primary sector but could also be used in Lower Secondary. They should be relevant to delivering the curriculum in all schools and could be helpful where the curriculum is linked to Eco School targets or Sustainable Schools initiatives.
