Over 500 schools in England have won the ultimate accolade. * For every £3 spent on heating a school, £1 is lost through bad insulation. * If schools turned their thermostat down one degree, they’d save 10% on their heating bills. * According to a recent Keep Britain Tidy survey, teenagers are most to blame for our litter shame. * The same report claims older children attach no guilt to littering. * Eco-Schools literature and website gives support on reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact. * www.eco-schools.org.uk {UK} [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] has a page called: Eco-Schools * ENCAMS press release November 23 2005
