Week 4 of Cut Your Carbon

This week, for Cut Your Carbon, we are focussing on "Cool It" and "Ditch The Drive".

• Lower your washing machine temperature to 30°C for three washes across the month. Washing machines are energy-hungry! Drop the temperature to 30°C for three washes this month and cut carbon without sacrificing clean clothes.

• Make any three journeys ‘active’ across the month. Transport creates nearly a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions. Active travel - such as walking, scooting, wheeling, or cycling - doesn’t emit anything! So, get active and ditch the drive!

The Cut Your Carbon Checklist is available on Purple Mash for children in years 1-6 to complete. Children will need to submit this before the end of the month to be in with the chance to be awarded some eco learning gems.
