What is Green Transport Week?

The ETA's Green Transport Week Event is designed to highlight real alternatives to the car for every day journeys. This year Green Transport Week will be taking place from the 14-22 June 2008.
       
Green Transport Week aims to: 

• Raise awareness of transport impact on the environment

• Highlight transport alternatives

• Make people stop and think before they go somewhere

• Send a message to the government on green transport and environmental issues

ETA are keen for the week to be inclusive of schools and children, hence the development of this resource. For more information, click here.

What has it got to do with primary schools?

Walk To School and Green Transport Week are held at a different times but share the objectives of promoting healthier and more sustainable travel amongst children, parents and teachers. Using the resources on this site to get involved with either week has the following advantages for you and your school:

• A complete week planned and prepared for you yet easily adaptable to your context and needs

• Meet Literacy and Numeracy objectives whilst having fun addressing a topic of real interest and relevance to your pupils

• Promote your school travel plan, environmental responsibility and your children's health in a lively way

• Rekindle your children's enthusiasm for life and learning in the post SATs lull
