Pupils at Priory School, Lewes, have taken their first steps to make their schools more environmentally friendly. Priory Eco Group (PEG) have pledged to cut down their litter and count the amount of electric and water they use at the school. They were guided by a representative from Green up your act Education, a Sussex based organization which advises schools on how to make energy improvements.
Pupils were shown how to make wallets from Tetra-packs and a bike linked to a small generator was used to demonstrate how much energy is needed to power a light bulb. They drew up plans for future energy-saving projects and were awarded a bronze award for their effects.

I strongly believe that the future is in our hands and therefore in the hands of the next generation. 'Green up your acts' aim is take the sometimes complex issues of Sustainability and make them easier to understand so participants of all ages can begin to help make the changes that are necessary for a cleaner, greener world.
