Planet Super League – Go Green For Your Team
Planet Super League encourages schools to take sustainable actions involving the whole community through a 5 week national competition which is taking place this Autumn. Over 70 football clubs, including Cambridge United and Peterborough United, have registered and are appealing to schools to engage in environmental actions and have some fun.
The competition which is scheduled to run from 10th October to 13th November 2022 requires children, staff and parents/carers to score green goals for their school (as well as their favourite football club) by doing things that are good for the planet.
PECT has joined partners from across the UK and France to launch Cool Food Pro. The project aims to support organisations and their caterers to reduce food waste by implementing changes to existing practices and contributing to being carbon neutral by 2050.
To do this, free training and resources are being provided to schools.
The process is straight forward and will bring schools and caterers together to work towards a common goal. The School Cool Food Pro project has been designed to be easily achievable so that money can be saved and carbon can be cut through minimising food waste. Free access will also be provided to the Cool Food Pro carbon calculator and the communications toolkit so that school successes can be shared thereby encouraging others to join in.
School based stop smoking and vaping sessions delivered by the Healthy You, Healthy Schools Stop Smoking Service
The Healthy You, Healthy Schools Stop Smoking Service has been developed in response to feedback from schools on how to positively support young people aged 12 – 18 who are known to be smokers/vapers.
It is being delivered into secondary schools by Healthy You (the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Healthy Lifestyle Service) in conjunction with the Healthy Schools Service.
The aim is to provide a referral pathway for any young person who either wishes to quit smoking or vaping or would benefit from some dedicated advice and information on the potential risks of these behaviours as well as the associated regulations.
