Monday marked the first meteorological day of spring so start sowing your seeds and bulbs to help the environment. They look great and will give bees and butterflies food and homes. Some that are great for bees include poppies, lavender, hydrangeas and foxgloves. @LEHSchool

Buying food from local farmers and growers rather than from other countries or further away in the UK has many benefits for the environment.

The further food has to travel, the more food miles it clocks up.

Eco-tip: try to use reusable masks wherever possible to help to limit the quantity of disposable masks that are being thrown away during the pandemic, in order to reduce the harm that they are causing wildlife. #LEHSchool

Sir David Attenborough released a Netflix documentary called ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our ‘. Watch from Sunday 4th October.

EcoTip: Sell, swap or buy second hand clothes online

If your clothes are not used,why not sell them? Give them a second life and reduce the amount of waste in landfill. Make some money from doing it! Apps include eBay, Depop, Poshmark and Vinted. #LEHSchool #secondhand
