The SecEd Podcast: Reducing carbon emissions in schools

This episode looks at student-led eco-work in schools as well as how schools can reduce their carbon emissions. Our panel includes both teachers and students and offers a range of ideas large and small for projects and cost-saving initiatives. The podcast is inspired by the Let’s Go Zero schools campaign.

We look at practical carbon reduction ideas, wider eco-work including single-use plastics and food waste, how student eco-teams can work, using the free En-ROADS simulator resource, and the Youth Climate Action Network.

We consider how schools can save money by prioritising carbon reduction, including energy surveys, reducing energy-use and procurement.
