Saving the Planet and the Purse

February 7, 2014 by Administrator

Teaching assistant, Stephen Green, has made a huge impact on staff and pupils at Ringmer Community College with his approach to the environment.

In East Sussex, Ringmer Community College is turning its fortunes around, by saving money and dramatically reducing its carbon footprint through a variety of different means.

Part-time TA, Stephen Green, is the man who encouraged the school to think green when he started an eco-club, which went from five to 200 members in a few years.

Stephen is now a dedicated environmental co-ordinator and has enabled the installation of solar panels, a wind turbine, a ground source heat pump and a biomass boiler, at the school.

The message of looking after the planet has become part of the curriculum, with some project raising money for charity.
