GreenLearning partnered with Clean Air Champions to offer Learn-Audit-Act to five high schools in the Toronto Catholic and Halton district school boards.

The High School Climate Challenge (HSCC) developed by Clean Air Champions invites students to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions audit of their school. Students measure emissions from eight sources: electricity, heating energy, transportation energy, school building, land use, refrigeration, water use, and materials and resources. Professional athletes visit participating schools to train students in conducting audits and to inspire them with their own personal stories. Students use their completed audits to develop recommendations for action for themselves and their school administration or school board. Students then use the HSCC Calculator to measure reductions in school greenhouse gas emissions. To learn more about this program, visit the HSCC website.

We thank the teachers who participated in Learn-Audit-Act: Audrey and George at Cardinal Newman; Ben and Fenny at St Joseph's; Christine at St Mary's; and Kristen at Iroquois Ridge. This exciting project was made possible through the generous support of the Community Go Green Fund, a program of the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
