Community School Impacts

YOUR SCHOOL IMPACTS

Your impact is both direct, meaning the effect is felt where you are, and also indirect. e.g. When you switch on a light, the illumination will have an impact - on your eyes, while the indirect impact is at the power stations which pollute the water and air, that contributes to global warming. While @ CUL, each of the schools will create similar sorts of impacts - from normal business and office operations. However, there will be specific impacts arising from the activites associated with those schools.

Virtually everything we do uses Raw materials and Energy, needs Food and Transport, and produces Waste.

SPECIAL COMMUNITY & HEALTH SCHOOL IMPACTS

It is impossible to separate the well-being of the human person from the well-being of the earth. We need to assess the risks of the environmental risks to both people - their health in the community, and to the planet's health.

Sustainable development places equal importance on the protection and of the earth's resources and the wellbeing og people. Sustainable development should be healthier for both people and the planet. International development documents affirm that "human beings are at the centre of concern for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature…".

The goal of sustainable development is to permanently improve the living conditions of human beings. In many cases, what is healthy for people and their community, it is also helthier for the planet - eat more locally grown vegetables and you tick all the boxes.
