WHAT IS CARBON-FREE CAMPUS?

Carbon-Free Campus, CC is dedicated to helping schools fight climate change by reducing their carbon footprint. CC helps schools make a difference for the environment and our own health.

WHY?

  • Climate change is real – just look around: fires, heatwaves, storms, rising seas
  • We have depended on coal, oil and gas and their production harms our environment and our health from added greenhouse gases and from the air, water and soil pollution
  • Nature can no longer absorb all the CO2 that we are producing.
  • Deforestation to feed livestock, plastics,  and our waste worsens climate change and pollutes our world
  • With existing solutions we can now change from an extractive, exploitative world to a regenerative pollution-free renewable powered world in harmony with nature

 

Therefore, we need to fight climate change and reduce our CO2 emissions.

HOW?

  • Enabling schools and communities to make a meaningful environmental impact
  • Inspiring students to adopt sustainable values within their own lives
  • Empowering them through the art of negotiation and self-guided research.

 

 

THE CARBON-FREE CAMPUS PROGRAMME WILL:
  • Empower me and others to make change

  • Teach me negotiation techniques and the power of persuasion
  • Ask me to investigate school's climate footprint and how to do better
  • Lead me to create community awareness of the global warming issue
  • Inspire behavioural changes at my school, home and community

  • Encourage discussion at home on how and why to reduce reliance on plastics
  • Provide my children to develop key life skills; teamwork, organisation, communication, negotiation and project management
  • Allow parents to follow progress as observers - request a link from the school faculty advisor
