Welcome to the EcoSchools Market

EcoSchools Canada T-Shirt

Why we're selling t-shirts

For years, we’ve received requests from the EcoSchools network to produce an EcoSchools shirt so that school communities can share and promote their commitment to a sustainable future for everyone.

Many EcoTeams create their own shirts to represent their school and unique interpretation of what EcoSchools means to them, and often incorporate sustainable upcycling, recycling or thrifting practices – we think this is a thoughtful, creative approach and highly encourage it!

For schools, EcoTeams, or individuals who don’t want to take this route, the official EcoSchools Canada t-shirt provides a great solution – a garment that was designed by a member of the EcoSchools community, is certified sustainable, and is ethically produced right here in Canada.

All proceeds will enable us to further our mission to support sustainable school communities across Canada.

Why we're selling stickers

Lights Off stickers are back by popular demand! An EcoSchools icon since 2010, these stickers act as a handy way to encourage students and educators to turn the lights off around the school  when they aren’t needed. This practice helps reduce schools’ energy use and promotes awareness about energy conservation, and helps develop energy-saving habits in school communities.

All proceeds will enable us to further our mission to support sustainable school communities across Canada.

Window Decal

Why we're selling decals

Based on feedback from the EcoSchools community, we know that in-school recognition of certification matters! These window decals are meant to serve as a way for schools to raise awareness about, and promote their participation in, the EcoSchools program to everyone who spends time in their buildings. 

All proceeds will enable us to further our mission to support sustainable school communities across Canada.

Why we're selling banners

Recognizing and celebrating certification success is an integral part of the EcoSchools program. In addition to the digital recognition tools provided in June each year, schools have let us know that they want to showcase their EcoSchools achievements right in their school building for all to see.

Our solution is the EcoSchools stand-up banner! It’s a portable way to highlight your commitment to environmental learning and climate action. These banners are suitable for indoor and temporary outdoor use and do not require installation or ongoing maintenance. 

All proceeds will enable us to further our mission to support sustainable school communities across Canada.
