2021-2022 Reducing Our Carbon Footprint Through Community Collaboration, New Myrnam School, New Myrnam

Students at New Myrnam School want to reduce the substantial carbon footprint created by families in their community constantly driving back and forth to the grocery store in a nearby town. Through this Student Action Challenge project, they will be building a new hydroponics system so they can grow their own produce at the school. To understand the impact that they have, they will calculate the carbon footprint of buying food from the grocery store versus the food grown through their system and share their knowledge with community members.
