‘Green’ school fits blinds

An eco-conscious London school has fitted blinds to bolster its green commitments.

Archdeacon Cambridge’s Church of England Primary School in Twickenham, London, has taken a pro-active stance in promoting environmental issues to its pupils and the local community.

Etain Gibson, the school’s deputy head, told This is Local London that green matters should feature high on everybody’s agenda to combat the ongoing threat of climate change.

"We have held blackout weeks where everyone is extra conscious of lights, computers and overhead projectors being off and blinds open," she said.

The school has even been awarded a Green Flag in recognition of its environmentally-friendly approach.

Talking about the school’s overall green goals, the teacher also told the news provider that it is aiming to cut down on the size of its carbon footprint.

According to EDG Energy and the Energy Futures Lab, people should take individual responsibility for making their properties and lifestyles more conducive to energy efficiency.
