Eco-Schools and the Pod joint ezine

Read all the latest goings on from Eco-Schools and the Pod in our joint online magazine.

These ezines are packed full of facts, tips and activities for learning about the environment, as well as case studies from other schools eco-work. We hope this interactive magazine will engage and enthuse students, both in and out of the Eco-Committee, about a range of environmental topics. Also included are important eco dates, competitions and quick links to sources of funding and offers.
