School rewards for emission cuts

Noosa Environmental Education Hub is collaborating with Zero Emissions Noosa to celebrate young people’s school emissions reduction ideas.

Schools are one of the largest community greenhouse gas emitters, which is why focusing on in-school education to lower emissions is so important. The Race to Zero program has been working within schools and creating real behaviour change in both school and home electricity use. Students have been engaging with their schools’ real time energy data over the past year and are generating great ideas to reduce emissions and energy waste. The Race to Zero competition, supported with thanks to Bendigo Bank Tewantin Branch, is designed to reward each and every student’s idea.

The competition is now open with entries closing on 31July. To enter the competition simply grab a group of friends and submit a short video describing the initiatives your school is taking to reduce emissions.

Every student entrant will receive a prize as well as a classroom prize for the best idea. There is also a prize for the teacher champion our schools achieve so much thanks to the timeless input of enthusiastic and supportive teachers. So let us know what your schools is up to on its Race to Zero.

To find out more about the competition and upload your video go to www.noosaeehub.com.au/race2zerocomp
