Green Schools Programme
There are now 87 North Tipperary schools participating in the Green Schools, 60 of which have Green Flags. Green Schools is about whole-school action for the environment, with the main focus in the initial phase being on litter and waste. Research has shown that active green schools have reduced waste by over a half. Schools follow a seven step programme in order to attain their Green Flag, which is in effect an environmental management system for their school.
North Tipperary County Council supports all participating Green Schools by providing them with free compost bins and clean up materials. The Council's Environmental Awareness Officer liaises with schools on an on-going basis, gives talks to students and assists them in getting the Green Schools programme started.
