Helping cut water usage

Twenty-three North Lanarkshire schools are set to benefit from a practical sustainability initiative that aims to inspire young minds while helping cut water usage.
As part of its commitment under the Public Sector Scotland (PSS) Framework, water retailer Business Stream has provided free water butts to the schools.
The water butts, which capture and store rainwater for outdoor use, are expected to save up to 2000 litres of water a year in each school.
