Chorley schools could get "free" solar energy (From Chorley Citizen)

It has been calculated that if all 25,000 schools in England are fitted with solar panels, 48,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions could be saved annually - the equivalent of 145,000 people flying from Manchester to Madrid and back.

Patrick Allen, the Co-operative’s director of marketing, said: “We believe that solar panels and wind turbines at a school make a huge climate change statement to children, teachers and parents.”
