Green-Schools is run by An Taisce in cooperation with local authorities throughout Ireland.
The Green-Schools programme can help schools to:
- Improve the school environment
- Reduce litter and waste
- Reduce fuel bills and energy usage
- Reduce water consumption
- Promote car-free travel to school
- Increase environmental awareness
- Involve the local community
- Gain local publicity
- Create links with other schools in Ireland and abroad
Green-Schools is a long-term programme, and the award needs to be renewed every two years. The award is in the form of a Green Flag that can be flown outside the school or displayed in a foyer. Award winners will also receive a certificate, a logo to display on headed notepaper, and other publicity material.
