What was Zoom to the Hart?
Zoom to the Hart is a virtual climate summit happening this spring as a covid-friendly alternative to our Walk to the Hart event, which can't happen this year. At Zoom to the Hart, you can expect inspiring speakers and fun sustainability related activities. At the end of the summit, each school that attends will use what they've learned to come up with Climate Action Plans for their school!
