Finally, how proactive is the Department in regard to the green schools programme? I acknowledge it seeks interest from schools but does it ask each school about its travel practices? Does it ask schools whether their travel comprises, say, 80%, 90% or 20% by car? What level of resources does the Department have to help bring schools with it to reduce the number of cars on the road and to increase other, more sustainable forms of transport? I refer in particular to urban areas throughout the country.
