Other Actions
There are lots of other charities providing free resources and project ideas that can help and inspire you to work on our Energy Topic from collecting used batteries for the Big Battery Hunt to participating in Earth Hour.
The Big Battery Hunt
The UK’s biggest school battery recycling programme (4 million batteries recycled last year), gives students the opportunity to be pioneers in battery recycling: encouraging the whole nation to recycle more batteries and making a real difference to our planet.
Check out the Big Battery Hunt website and join the Big Battery Hunt community.
Earth Hour
Earth Hour is the World’s biggest switch off event – a moment millions come together for nature, people and the planet. WWF provide plenty of resources and activities that can be used in the days or weeks leading up to Earth Hour or when planning your school’s very own Earth Hour event.
