Eco Committee

A Grade 10 student leads our eco committee, a project that stemmed from a G8 service project, grew into her Personal Project and is now nearing completion of phase 1.

7 Steps to a Green School---Adapted from Eco Schools Global

2. Adopt An Environmental Vision Statement or Planet Pledge

4. Create A Green School Action Plan

5. Monitor and Evaluate Progress

6. Integrate Greening into the Curriculum

7. Inform, Involve, and Celebrate!

I really enjoyed Merchiston's first ever eco conference. I love all things "reduce, reuse" and am very interested in sustainable fashion and the direction it's headed. It's always helpful to learn how other schools are implementing change.
