Here is what they had to say about
our site:
Ecotastic is fantastic!
Ten year old Jake Lee and his friends at Hagbourne School have created this
eco-friendly website to help inform other young people about how they can become
more environmentally aware. The students of Hagbourne School are working with
other European Schools as well as schools in Australia and Africa promoting
energy conservation with the hope that other schools will start to develop their
own energy saving strategies. The project has been built around the motto of
‘becoming a better global citizen’.
