Schools Programme
GreenBuying.co.uk is not just about showcasing the best of British companies who produce eco friendly products. Its other key objective is to educate school children about sustainability and how their behaviour can make a difference to the planet. They are the next generation of consumers so we see it as vital that we educate them to be pro-environmental and challenge the companies who will sell to them as adults.
To achieve this objective, we volunteer time periodically working with schools, either on-site delivering presentations or off-site at conferences.
Click here to watch a short video clip of GreenBuying Founder, Matt Roper, talking about why GreenBuying.co.uk was set up and the importance of sustainable procurement. It was filmed at the National Sustainable Schools Conference. Apologies for the poor sound quality of the clip.
