Guidance
The tree of ideas is a template for you to collect and display children’s / student’s ideas for change /
actions that they will do for Earth Day and beyond.
The tree itself has numerous blank circles to give space for ideas to be added, plus space at the
bottom to write the school or class name. For smaller children we have introduced the Acorns
template, where they can draw their ideas of action, or what their idea of a clean environment /
healthy Earth looks like.
Sharing your ideas with us
It would be great to see some of the ideas the children come up with and acknowledge the work of
each class/group. The tree of idea posters will be shared across 50 countries and we would like to
gather some of the best ideas from each school to see what children and students around the world
suggest. We will gather all these ideas together and share to participating schools in a global round up.
To share your ideas tweet us at @amec_fw include the hashtags #EarthDay or #AmecFosterWheeler

Some ideas for your tree
Have a shower instead of a bath • turn off the tap when brushing your teeth • use the correct recycling
bin at home and school • turn off the lights when you’re the last to leave a room • don’t sleep with a
light on • plant a vegetable patch • walk or take your bike/scooter to school • use re-useable tubs in
your packed lunch • reward kids who eat all their breakfast/lunch • help your parents to make your
packed lunch – if it contains what you like you’re less likely to waste food • use re-usable drinks bottles
• nominate pupil ‘eco-warriors’ • ask parents to bring in old milk bottles/jars/cardboard boxes to use
in art activities • take care not to lose/damage clothing • use waste paper for doodling • unplug laptop
cables, phone chargers when not in use • switch off TV’s, monitors, games consoles when not in use –
don’t leave on standby • use rechargeable batteries in toys • donate unwanted toys to a local charity.
