Better Planet Education

Until August 2024, Better Planet Education was known as the Young People's Trust for the Environment (YPTE). YPTE has been providing environmental education resources and services for schools and young people since 1982 and we are delighted to continue that vital work as Better Planet Education.

Along with the name change, we've launched our shiny new website, which offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that streamlines access to premium resources on nature and environmental issues. From novices to eco-champions, Better Planet Education caters to all levels of environmental understanding, providing engaging content for teachers, parents and young people alike.

The site covers a comprehensive array of environmental topics, including climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity conservation. We offer free downloadable lesson plans, assembly presentations, home learning packs, and over 200 fact sheets on various species and environmental subjects. A highlight (for us, and we hope for you) is the new "Young People's Voices" section, showcasing youth-created content and encouraging active participation in environmental discourse. We'd love to see lots more contributions from young people to this section.

Peter Littlewood, Better Planet Education's Director, said: "Our rebranding and new website are the result of extensive feedback from our core audience –young people and educators. This marks a renewed commitment to delivering top-tier resources that empower schools and youth to take meaningful action towards a sustainable future."
