Go Green Week takes place from 11th to 17th February 2013. The event aims to raise awareness of climate change and helps students to launch practical solutions for a low-carbon future. I posted 10 Resources for Go Green Week last year, so here are 10 more great resources that you could use too:

1) Waste Warriors is a lovely site with child-friendly information about waste and recycling in different areas of the community.
