We recently invited students at three language schools, located in three different countries, to complete a short survey exploring their views on the need for stronger environmental action. Some questions focused on respondents’ own individual behaviour, while others asked how they feel their language school is responding to today’s environmental challenges.

Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of respondents (85.5%) said that everyone should do their best to protect the environment. However, this still leaves 14.5% who are not yet convinced that individual action makes a meaningful difference. This shows that there is still work to be done to demonstrate why every person’s contribution matters.

Encouragingly, almost all respondents (97.9%) said they would support the introduction of new environmental policies at their school. In other words, students would like to see language schools make greater efforts to minimise their environmental impact.
