Eco Travel Challenge for schools 2020 launches
Translink and Eco Schools are encouraging parents, teachers and pupils in Larne, Carrick, Newtownabbey and the wider East Antrim area to take up the Eco Travel Challenge.
It challenges them to walk, cycle or use public transport for the school run in an effort to cut car congestion at school gates, protect the environment and boost their health
Registration for Translink Eco Schools Travel Challenge is open and all schools in Northern Ireland are invited to register.
The last chance to enter the challenge will be May 4, 2020.
The Eco-Schools programme, free to all schools in NI, is operated by environmental charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and supported by Department of Agriculture, Environment, and Rural Affairs.
Translink sponsors the popular Transport topic of the programme and the Travel Challenge is instrumental in helping schools reach the internationally recognised Eco-Schools Green Flag award which is awarded to schools with high achievement in their programme.
Schools can register for the Travel Challenge and resources at www.translink.co.uk/ecoschools
