A Student-Led Carbon Audit To Quantify Sustainability and Measure Impact

LISTEN NOW

On this episode, Scott meets Huy, Leia, and David, high school students at St. Joseph’s Institution International. These students are part of a co-curricular activity (CCA) at their school called Sustainability Squad. Sustainability Squad is a well-established CCA that works to lead sustainability initiatives within their school community. In our conversation, learn how these students, and other members of their squad, have done something quick remarkable. They have quantified their carbon footprint by gathering data and worked with the the World Wide Fund (WWF) to build skills to effectively lead initiatives in an effort to achieve quantifiable, measurable impact on reducing their school community’s carbon footprint. How might this work be integrated into teaching and learning in our schools and how might your students become actively involved with this work in your school community?
