Earth Hour is an especially good candidate for a student-run environmental campaign about energy conservation and slowing climate change. Its sharp focus allows you to undertake as little or as much awareness and action building as your school is ready for. It’s a wonderfully inclusive campaign—the youngest child can take part. The TDSB Earth Hour poster/checklist can serve as an organizing tool for classroom or school-wide endeavours.| Earth Hour Plus: Is your school going beyond Earth Hour’s 60 minutes? Tell us if your school is already going beyond Earth Hour itself! Do students take an active role in organizing the campaign? Inspire and challenge other schools across the city. Write to eleanor.dudar@tdsb.on.ca and tell us about any specific actions (e.g., a regular monthly or weekly Earth Hour) and what small changes are happening. |
