About the project

PROJECT TITLE: No Time to Waste

LOCATION: Manchester

FUNDING: Awarded £10,000 from the Recycle for Greater Manchester Community Fund (2021 - 2022)

PARTNERS: Manchester Environmental Education Network

The idea

Working with school Eco Teams and staff in six Manchester Schools to change schools' culture. Each school team would create an action plan dependent on which waste streams are most in need of reduction and the most appropriate solutions in each setting. Manchester Environmental Education Network would offer a selection of activities to help schools reduce their waste, some making immediate waste savings others working towards longer-term solutions.Â
