The Schools secretary Ed Balls has announced that schools are to become carbon neutral by 2016.

200 projects will be undertaken in the next three years, which will cost a total of £110 million. This means that the typical school in the plan will receive around £500,000 to install sustainable generators and make buildings more efficient.

This could include everything from the use of energy-efficient computers and electronic devices, to improving existing insulation and using bio-mass burners to provide heat.
