WATCH: Highland schools get energised to save electricity with Energy Sparks

Highland Council is continuing to work with sustainability charity, Energy Sparks to offer Highland schools access to Energy Sparks' online energy analysis tool and energy education programme.

Energy Sparks supports primary and secondary pupils, staff and the wider school community to reduce their school’s carbon emissions and make a real contribution to addressing the climate emergency.

Today marks the start of Energy Saving Week and schools are being encouraged to engage with the Get Energised to save electricity with Energy Sparks campaign.
