Take the Zerofootprint Challenge

Measure, Compare and Change the world...one school at a time. The Zerofootprint Challenge is a global initiative that encourages schools to measure, compare, and reduce their environmental impact. More than 350 schools across Canada have already registered. When you join the Zerofootprint Challenge, you gain access to a program that helps you to determine your school's current footprint, compare it with other schools, and challenge a rival school in a Race to Reduce. In an active online forum, participants can share their experiences, view results, and see the ongoing progress.
Spearheaded by the Zerofootprint Foundation, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to apply technology, design, and risk management to the massive reduction of global environmental impact, the Zerofootprint Challenge is also supported by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, GreenLearning Canada, Toronto EcoSchools, and Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots. Register your school at http://zerochallenge.zerofootprint.net. For more information, contact Omri Stern.
