Eco-Schools Updates

Earth Prize Submission

Throughout semesters 1 and 2, the Eco-Schools team has worked nonstop during in-school and out-of-school hours to create a product that can help sustainability within the school and hopefully have it progress and spread nationwide. Aiming to develop a solution to accelerate positive change towards the environment, the Earth Prize Competition provides a $100,000 prize to teenagers who can create a one-of-a-kind solution to a problem they deem important. We in the Eco-Schools team decided to create a sustainable whiteboard marker from its ink to it's cartridge.

Earth Week Activities

For the past few weeks, the Eco-Schools team has been trying to come up with ideas that fall under 3 concepts: 

• Waste Management

• School Grounds

• Healthy Living

After coming up with a few rough ideas on how things may play out, each member voted on the best idea and it was decided that there would be one activity per concept. These activities will be planned to occur during Earth Week, whether during or after school.
