Lots of exciting stuff is happening at the Dourroughby Environmental Education Centre in Australia.

Children from the schools involved have carried out energy audits in their schools and helped school leaders develop energy-saving action plan. They used lux metres to measure energy and explored the use of solar energy and mini-generators.

They have also explored how much energy different types of lights use and some children planted shade trees to keep their classroom cooler. Inspiring stuff! 

Incredible things happening in Singapore! This inspirational video of the Eco Stewardship programme shows children growing their own mushrooms and other vegetables for use in school lunches and donating to the community.
