Patcham Junior School has saved £21,761 in electricity costs since installing the solar panels in 2020, and reduced its CO2 emissions by 35.73 tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 559 trees saplings. (BHESCo Report 2025)

"THIS WEEK'S SUSTAINABILITY TIP"

Reusable Bags – In the UK, the introduction of a 5p charge for single-use plastic bags led to a drop in usage by over 98% at major retailers, preventing more than 7 billion plastic bags from entering circulation annually. However, on average, each person in the EU consumed 65 lightweight plastic carrier bags in 2023.

Plastic Bags are used for an average of 12 minutes and
they can take 100 - 1,000 years to decompose

       What can you do?

·        Have Tote Bags all around! Keep some in your car, in your bag, at your door’s entrance, so that you’ll have one available at all times

Use second-hand cardboard boxes or baskets to carry your shopping

·        If you have to use a plastic bag, recycle it at the closest collection point (Tips or supermarkets) or reuse it as many times as you can before throwing it away

ReReuse plastic bags to store things, as bin liners
or to create some craft work!

Our Sustainability Plan page is regularly updated with all the steps Patcham Junior is taking towards Zero Net 2030, and you can find all weekly Sustainablility Tips added at the bottom of the page.
