Green Teaching (a birthday book for your schoolteacher!)

Green Teaching is a book on helping teaches to embrace ecological choices and to use nature as the location for learning, to help transform how children are taught.

The author draws on international research and case studies to offer ways to transform how children are taught about environment and nature.

For planting outdoor spaces, read our posts on pet-friendly and wildlife-friendly gardens (also avoid facing indoor plants to outside gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows).

Also read our posts on organic school uniforms (and vegan school shoes) and healthy local seasonal school food.

Schools are signing up to qualify for Eco Schools Green Flag, which is good financially too. Teachers can also take online courses at the Institute for Humane Education, to teach children on compassion for other species and the natural world.
