Greenpositive initiative
Excellent news from Spain where the Spanish association for private language schools – FECEI – has launched a hallmark to encourage environmental good practice in member schools.
See the Programme Greenpositive Language Schools – FECEI Sustainability Policy.
Should we have a similar hallmark for UK ELT?

Thanks and welcome
Thank you if you came along to the session on environmental responsibility at English UK ELT Conference this weekend – and welcome to eltfootprint.uk! It was great to meet so many like-minded people over the two days of the conference. There was lots of goodwill, good intentions and the sharing of good practice that I am sure will help us towards our goal of making UK ELT carbon neutral as soon as possible.
