Description

Brainstorming methods of transportation we've taken, and elaborating a pros and cons table for each one. We concluded that while walking and biking are best for health and reducing our carbon footprint, some situations and destinations require more speed and distance, so we do have to sometimes resort to less environmentally friendly options in certain situations.

Students created a community organization (CEP) with a two-fold mandate; to conserve water and to ensure access to potable water throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico. Their annual summer initiative is to clean up oil spills off of both coasts, and support the care of affected marine wildlife. They run their operation from a carbon-neutral office, run on solar power.

We looked at the Life Cycle of Plants and discussed Photosynthesis. Then we got planting... marigolds, Sunflowers, ivy, a succulent, and nectarines in pots and in some of the overflow of teacher mugs we wanted to give new life to.

Nous avons répondu aux questions du gouvernement du Québec sur comment mesurer notre empreinte éco-énergétique (empreinte carbone - carbon footprint). Si tout le monde vivait comme nous, on aurait besoin de plusieurs terrains 100m x 100m et de plusieurs planètes pour subvenir à nos besoins! Nous avons créé un dragon avec nous petits pieds pour montrer que notre impact doit être puissant, car notre Terre est en danger MAINTENANT. The dragon made up of little feet is to show that our impact most be strong and powerful, as our Earth is in danger NOW.

We set our goal and did February and the beginning of March completely without power! Unplugging computers during the school day, using natural light during French blocks as we are fortunate enough to have 2 big windows. We adapted our ways of learning and working.

All students wrote a letter to themselves from 2037 describing the World in their time and urging themselves to act in 2022 to preserve biodiversity, protect the land - air - water - forests, and to live less wasteful more sustainable lives. Alternatively, some drew comics to teach strategies for saving energy and tackling today's abysmal levels of pollution.

Brainstorming ideas for saving energy in small groups, then as a class. We had a bit of a challenge deciding on the most essential ones to implement as our households are all different. We are however focusing on in-class strategies. Posters and morning announcements made for around the school to teach and encourage others to do the same!

A small group brainstormed ideas, and voted on their favourite one. They then searched and tested out programs they thought might be fun to try for making a video. After settling on Animaker, they taught themselves how to use the program and create the necessary frames to convey their message.

The WaterWorks Team tracked their usage of water over the course of 2 days and tried to reduce it on the 2nd. They then presented their surprising findings (just how much water is used/wasted) and strategies for saving water.

We discussed the 100km diet and locally sourced ingredients /recipes. Students shared some of their favourite recipes. *Interesting point: Due to people staying in more during Covid, many claimed to be eating more local produce and meats, and frequenting local markets instead of grocery stores.
