First of all, a hearty thanks to the 1,481 schools who registered and completed their EcoReviews by January 29th. We look forward to learning more about your eco initiatives over the coming months.
To help you build on your eco-efforts thus far, here are some upcoming events.
1. Earth Hour: Schools Celebrate March 7-11
Earth Hour falls on March 19th this year, the Saturday following March break. Many schools are celebrating the week ahead: March 7-11th! Be sure to tweet and post to us about the activities your school is taking part in. See our Earth Hour kit and activity sheet for ideas you can implement at your school.
2. World Water Week (in Canada): March 21st-27th
