Really important. Let's seize this moment to embed environmental action in UK Accredited English language schools. Have you seen it fellow UK #GreenStandardSchools @LanguagesUtd @CountryCousins_ @ihbelfast? #GreenELT
Accreditation UK has started a consultation and we're inviting participants to let them know it’s time to include environmental responsibility. Let's push for greener inspection criteria! Please like and RT 💚 #GreenELT Details and suggested text here 👉 https://t.co/3BIGwMPEJG

Mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles have seen an average drop of 69% globally since 1970. @findingnature created this version of @ed_hawkins' #ClimateStripes to show biodiversity fading to grey 👇 Impactful tools for your language classes and staff rooms #GreenELT

The famous prehistoric monument Stonehenge is just 30mins from our summer school. Our pupils can visit the beautiful stone circle, explore neolithic houses and see ancient jewellery and tools during their summer English language course at ECS. https://t.co/gUc1J2shu0

Wow, now that is something to think about 👇 If you are feeling helpless in the face of the climate and ecological crises, think about the huge impact you can have by working with your students for change 💚#GreenELT
"If a class of 30 switches from plastic water bottles to reusable ones, they'll save ~5k bottles across the year. And that’s one class. If you can make this change across your whole school..." Just one way our industry can have a huge, positive impact! #GreenLanguageTeaching

Join our co-director @ChristoELT for a motivating #GreenELT event on why + how to take environmental action that doesn't cost the earth 👇 Environmental responsibility is at the heart of ECS, a @GreenStandardSc accredited UK language school 💚 #GreenLanguageTeaching #UKELT
UK ELT is recovering from the pandemic, facing changing travel rules, staffing issues and now a serious cost crisis. Can we afford to spend time and energy on sustainability too? Join the discussion at our next #GreenELT session: Friday 30 Sept, 14:00 👉 https://t.co/VzV3810Bzi

"If we can influence the students in our classrooms – hundreds of millions around the world – collectively we might start to have an impact. But we also have to practice what we preach and get our act together at our schools – which is what GSS is all about." @jonathandykes1
Harry @Renewablenglish chats with @jonathandykes1 about classroom tips, especially for teachers who don't have time for environmental topics, and the importance + power of collective action through language teaching. 👉 https://t.co/3ogpj6hLvY 🌱 #GreenLanguageTeaching #GreenELT

Is your language school taking action to reduce emissions + negative environmental impact? Then you might be ready to show the world your environmental credentials with independent accreditation for green language schools! 👉 https://t.co/1LI4lLCixG 🌱#GreenLanguageTeaching

It's been wonderful to welcome pupils back to ECS, see them gain confidence, connect with each other and nature, and improve their English. We said goodbye to our last pupils on the weekend – and are already looking forward to next year! #LoveLearning
