Receiving a Reward - Schools' dedication to preserving the environment recognized
Seventy schools in Thuringia have been designated as environmentally friendly institutions in Europe for their dedication to eco-friendliness and sustainability. Among them are 31 primary schools and 12 high schools. Environmental Minister Bernhard Stengele (Greens) and Education Minister Helmut Holter (Left) recognized these schools for developing their own environmental plans over the past two years. These plans aimed to conserve energy and waste, promote healthy eating, and decrease the use of motor vehicles. Additionally, eleven standard schools, eleven community schools, six support schools, and two vocational schools received recognition. These awards have been presented since 1995.
