We successfully hosted our first League for Green Leaders competition in 2021/2022 from Nov.8, 2021 – Nov.22, 2021. Thanks for the support from our partners TDSB ECO Schools, Project Neutral, ACER, and teachers and parents, together we achieved amazing goals and received such great feedback from children, parents, and teachers.
League for Green Leaders Stats
We had an incredible number of children participated, 224 to be exact! Within that number we had a total of 43 teams, 12 in intermediate level and 31 in advanced level. Together our Green Leaders were able to save 12.6 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted into our atmosphere – what an incredible number! To break that down, within the 12.6 tonnes, 3.29 tonnes from food choices, 8.95 tonnes from travel choices, and 0.36 tonnes from recycling.
