I was pleased to see progress being made at the Great Park Academy site.

We don’t need new oil fields (or runways) – there’s twice the jobs and GDP growth in renewables…

Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward
Heading off the environmental crisis and growing the economy are not at odds. They are two sides of a coin – as our politicians should realise

Beware signals from government as they'll have implications to education policy changes. DfE will struggle to put climate, nature & sustainability at the heart of the curriculum when pledges on environmental protection or climate action are being ditched 🙄

For years, the Tories watched on while sewage poured into our rivers and seas.
We said we would take the bold action needed to stop this crisis.
The Water (Special Measures) Bill will do just that.

I am on a mission to raise funds for equipment that will empower my students to lead eco-friendly projects. It is time to shift away from the traditional notions of consumerism in D&T and provide students with a genuine eco-education.

I’m in the very privileged position of being able to design the D&T curriculum at a wonderful new school in the North East of England.
I want to get as much eco education into the D&T and food offer as possible. We will have students from year 5 to year 11.
Where should I start?! 🤷🏼♀️

Today, as #StormEowyn howls across the UK, our MPs are voting on the #CANbill to limit emissions & protect nature. If it passes it promotes the UK to one of the leading lights in the world for commitment to the environment.

Labour will try to block the #CANbill tomorrow. This makes radical changes to embed climate, nature & sustainability across any new curriculum developed by DfE less likely. Education without supportive legislation would just add additional challenges.
I hope I'm wrong 🙄

Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill
Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill
Exclusive: Supporters of bill say Labour has already insisted on removal of clauses requiring the UK to meet targets agreed at Cop and other summits
A landmark bill that would make the UK’s climate and environment targets legally binding seems doomed…
