Resource Futures' team of experienced teachers have been running dedicated waste education projects since 1998, promoting the 3Rs message to teachers and children in schools in South West England.
Our work has recently developed to include other aspects of Education for Sustainable development, including supporting schools with Eco-Schools work.

Helping schools progress through the Eco-Schools programme through teacher training, newsletters, Networking Meetings and individual school support.
