# Department for Environment

The Pupil Eco Council was superseded by the Department for the Environment when our Pupil Parliament was established.

The Eco Council contributed many great ideas including writing to the Mayor to ask for his support getting more litter pickers and even an electric car charging point at our school.  The whole school also took part in the Earth Shot Initiative - see **[here ](https://www.chorleystmarys.lancs.sch.uk/pupilzone/eco-council)**for more information

We were successful in achieving the prestigious Green Flag Award in September 2022 - see **[here ](https://www.chorleystmarys.lancs.sch.uk/pupilzone/eco-council/green-flag-award)**for more information.
