As part of an ongoing commitment
to student success, the Peel District School Board launched the
Students Taking Action for Environmental Change program to help
students 'change the global mindset,' and become more aware and
active global citizens when it comes to environmental issues.
This
section of the website is intended to provide students with learning
tools and resources to develop leadership skills and become familiar
with global environmental issues. It focuses on general information
about the environment, and includes discussions on global climate
change and environmental education programs.
The
purpose is to help students understand Canada's place in the world
and students' responsibility to sustainable development. Students
will learn how they can affect environmental change in their schools,
communities and beyond.
