Going to school shouldn’t cost the earth
Commit to doing one thing to improve school sustainability
Join us on Friday June 6th to raise awareness of how schools, teachers, parents and pupils in the UK can take part in more sustainable practices, every day.
School Sustainability Day is an initiative from Uniformd, the free marketplace for secondhand schoolwear.
How can schools, teachers, pupils and parents get involved?
It’s simple – all we ask from any schools, teachers, parents or pupils getting involved is that you commit to doing ONE thing to inspire younger generations to be more sustainable. Whether it’s passing pre-loved school uniform to families in need to walking to school instead of driving – we all have a part to play in creating a more sustainable school eco-system.
Parents - Consider how you can make your children’s school experience more sustainable!
Schools - Dedicate the day to sustainability!
Pupils - Show off your sustainability!

Why should you get involved?
We all have a part to play in making the world a more sustainable place, and we believe education from an early age is the key to embedding eco-friendly habits.
