also it could be used to enrich the OS Data with address, telefon number etc.<br>

for a quick look at the data edubase provides:<br>

<br>
As every school in edubase comes with a postcode it should be<br>
reasonably easy to correlate the OS and EduBase data, and then weed<br>
out closed schools<br>

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,<br>
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If<br>
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.<br>
<br>
1) Don’t drive species to extinction<br>
<br>
2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.<br>
<br>
3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.<br>
