Eco-Friendly Resources

Educoot is an environmentally friendly business. It is continually developing new ways to be kind to Earth!

Click below to see some eco-friendly things we do!

 These are some ways in which you can help:

1. Only print when absolutely necessary. Read documents on-screen to save ink and paper. Use online learning platforms and allow students to fill in the resources online.

2. For correspondence, use email instead of postage. It's cheaper too.

3. Consider uploading shared documents onto a cloud, giving those involved access to files without having to print them.

4. Conserve energy when ever you can!

5. Recycle! It's good for the environment and will save you money.

6. If possible, have a plant nearby, such as on your desk.

7. Develop your own environmentally-friendly policy.
