There are 3 main parts to the project:

- Waste Audits to reduce school waste by identifying areas where positive changes can be made to improve overall waste management and reduce costs. So far 11 schools have successfully completed the project. 10 schools are currently working on improving their results.

- Resource Efficiency Training Sessions run by the Betre team for participating schools to help their senior management team member implement environmental changes on their premises. Two successful training sessions were held in March and October 2009.

- Communications Campaigns are designed and produced by participating schools to encourage local businesses and community groups to participate in resource efficiency training workshops as a way of encouraging their local community to become more resource efficient. Schools have already attracted interest from local newspapers and businesses.

In addition Environmental Audits are available to participating schools as a further way of reducing their environmental footprint and benefiting from the resultant cost savings.

An exciting new project called the Carbon Hub is also currently being developed to help all schools across the county become more sustainable. It will help schools to lower energy consumption, reduce waste, improve school travel plans, cut carbon emissions and to save both water and money. The Carbon Hub is a social networking tool for schools which will enable staff and pupils to see their carbon footprint from energy use, waste, school travel and water consumption and to create an action plan to reduce their carbon footprint and become more sustainable. The project is currently at pre-pilot stage and will be launched in spring 2010. For more information about how the Carbon Hub works please see the bilingual website https://www.thecarbonhub.com/
