Essex Schools Green Day
The 2nd Essex Schools Green Day that took place on 6th July 2022 was a big success, with nearly 20 schools in Colchester participating to take action on, and learn about, environmental issues and climate change.
The Council helped to support the day, visiting 10 schools to deliver gardening resources (kindly donated by Poplar Nurseries) and do a presentation on the Council’s work to tackle the climate emergency.
The Council would like to thank the following organisations for their contributions to the Green Day in Colchester:
Mercury Theatre video showing what they are doing as an organisation to reduce their environmental impact – Entertaining and informative! Vegetable garden at St John’s Green school
The bike bus outside St John’s Green Primary School!
The Council’s electric cargo bike used for delivering Poplar Nurseries donations to schools. This picture was taken at Home Farm Primary School.
The ‘wild area’ with birch trees created at Unity Primary Academy
The good news is that the Green Day will be coming back as a Green Week in 2023 – Information on how your school can take part and the date for the Green Week will be announced soon!
