2017 - 2018 Climate Literacy through Meatless Mondays
School: Robert Thirsk High School, Calgary
Students at Robert Thirsk High School have identified that sometimes the food that we buy at the store has to take a huge, carbon-fueled trip to get to the shelf. To reduce their carbon footprint they will build a tower garden to produce many of their menu items in house. Coupled with their Meatless Monday program, they are demonstrating that small changes in our diets can have a large effect on climate change.
