Environmental education and awareness
Education is an important tool in understanding how we affect our environment and how we can 'do our bit’ to improve it.
The council's environmental education team carry out a number of high profile educational projects across the city which aim to encourage a sense of pride in Salford and its environment. These include:
- Anti-litter and graffiti awareness campaigns
- Environmental Education within Schools
- Promotion of recycling throughout Salford
- Clean-up campaigns
The team are available to visit:
- Schools
- Youth Groups
- Brownies/Girl Guide Groups, etc
- Volunteer Groups
- Community Groups
We can deliver fun and interactive sessions on a wide range of environmental topics, from recycling to the problems of littering on our streets. We can conduct assemblies and provide curriculum based lessons; the team can tailor visits to your needs
Educational DVDs
We have produced several DVDs to help young people learn about different aspects of the environment.
- 'Don't Trash the Glass' - This is our latest DVD, which looks at why we need to recycle and follows the journey of a glass jar to the recycling factory.
- 'A New Start' - A short animated film showing what your waste thinks about recycling.
- 'Consequences Faerie' - Made for young people by young people this shows what happens when you commit environmental crime.
