While the Seven Steps and the Seven-Step methodology are the most vital aspect of the Eco-Green Schools program, we have found that working with Themes can also be a great help in giving the program a better structure.
For Environmental Review purposes, there are 11 main Themes. These include:
Waste
Examines the impact of waste on the environment and explores actions to minimize the amount of waste that we produce and dispose of daily
Marine and Coast
Teaches children about local and/or global coastal and marine habitats, how people are affecting these habitats and what we can do to protect them.
Biodiversity and Nature
Examines the flora and fauna present in the school environment and suggests ways to increase the levels of biodiversity around the school and raises the pupils’ awareness of biodiversity and nature.
Water
Introduces the significance of water both locally and globally and raises awareness of how simple actions can substantially cut down water use.
Climate Change
Examines the impacts we have on the Climate through our lifestyles and how a change in our actions can influence the situation in a positive way.
Energy
Recommends ways in which all members of the school can work together to increase awareness of energy issues and to improve energy efficiency within the school.
School Campus
Encourages schools to introduce students to the natural environment and to biodiversity in a practical way by offering a safe and potentially exciting facility for outdoor education that can complement classroom-based activities.
