WHAT IS ECO-SCHOOLS ?

The earth’s climate is changing for the worse, and Malaysia is experiencing many environmental changes too. Flash floods and landslides are happening more often in some places, and in other places there is drought and water shortages. With these calamities becoming more frequent, what is our future generation going to do? The answer to this question is Education for Sustainable Development. And Eco-Schools Malaysia is one important programme that must reach all schools in Malaysia.

Eco-Schools Malaysia is a programme dedicated to teaching primary and secondary school students how to manage their environment in the future. The programme teaches many modules such as how to audit energy consumption, how to install rainwater harvesting system, food production and sustainable farming, how to write and talk about the environment, how to become a champion for the environment, how to influence family members and the community to adopt earth-saving practices such as recycling and food waste management and composting.

Ultimately, in 10 years time, these children will be architects, engineers, technologists and communication experts that are environmentally conscious and able to effect change in Malaysian rakyat. We need more schools to be part of the Eco-Schools Programme in Malaysia. And we need your help to achieve 500 Eco-Schools by 2026.
