Environmentally Sustainable Practice

Are you passionate about teaching children about caring for the world that they live in? Perhaps you are looking at how you can involve the children in recycling, or finding ways to grow more bee-friendly wildflowers in your outdoor area?

Cumberland Council have received an offer of support through Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS) for a small number of schools or settings who would like to explore reducing our carbon footprint further through some (or all) of the following:

• • Help to set up a vermiculture, worm friendly composting bin with the children (they will enjoy feeding the worms and watching them grow!)
  • Workshop to explore recipes that you use and explore lower carbon alternatives
  • Working with Cumbria Tourism/Guardians of Grub to help you reduce food waste in your setting – Rise up against food waste

If you are interested in taking part in the above fully funded offer or want to find out more, please contact katie.clarke@Cumberland.gov.uk or karen.norman@Cumberland.gov.uk to register your interest.
