EcoSchools

EcoSchools is a school greening program with a very broad scope. It addresses what is taught, how we run our schools and how we design and use our schools grounds. Its central focus is supporting students and staff in caring for and protecting the environment where they spend so many hours every week. EcoSchools asks us to examine the decisions we make in our schools, inside and out — from modifying practices in our classrooms, offices, and boiler rooms to designing the school ground as a place for healthy, enriched learning.

We have certified elementary, middle, secondary schools, outdoor education schools and administration centres in all parts of the city and in all kinds of neighbourhoods.

How to help:

It’s time to cut down on lunchtime environmental impact and pack waste-free lunches. These 5 steps:

1.Pack food in reusable lunch containers (rice, noodles, roti, sandwiches, fruits, veggies, treats)
2.Wash and reuse real silverware and cloth napkins if needed
3.Store juice, water or other beverages in a reusable BPA free stainless steel bottle
4.Control food portions to ensure that there are no ‘leftovers’ to dispose of
5.Pack it all in a reusable lunch bag or tote!
