UK Waste Eco Schools Topic Link

UNESCO Biosphere IoM Education Links

This eco schools topic provides an introduction to the importance refusing, reducing, reusing, repairing, recycling.

Here in the Isle of Man the groups listed on this page can assist with you with this topic and support your eco schools work using local organisations.

We would also encourage you to include the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) wherever you can in your sustainability topics and teaching.

Each of the ten eco schools topics fits with an SDG and the link to the Waste topic goal is below.

The poster is the link to the main SDG site.
