We combined and condensed hundreds of the Think Tankers’ ideas into six main points for our Green Manifesto.
We believe these six points contain the most important, achievable, and impactful eco-ideas to come out of the Our Planet, Our Say workshops.
The top six ideas for our Green Manifesto
- All UK schools to set clear goals to cut their carbon and to be able to see how much energy they are using, so they can work with their teachers to find ways to cut down
- Green issues to become a part of every lesson on the school timetable and for teachers to be given more training and support to help them do this
- All schools to be given Government funding for green energy, in the same way as schools are given funding for books and other essentials
- A ban on the standby button – stopping manufacturers from making electrical items with standby buttons
- Government to make it easier for people to recycle by putting more recycling bins in public places like parks, city centres and restaurants
- Government to make it easier for local businesses to recycle their waste
