ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB

From hosting events such as “Flick Off Fridays” where lights are turned off in classrooms, to assisting with and supporting “Buy Nothing Day”, the Environmental Club has been hard at work ensuring that Our Lady of Mount Carmel achieves the status of a “Green School”.  To obtain this designation awarded by Ecosource, which is an organization that is funded by the Region of Peel, we must take action to reduce waste in our school.  Currently, Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one of two schools in the Dufferin-Peel striving for this designation.  To achieve this, we are focusing on major areas of concern within our school by identifying environmental problems and determining solutions to fix these issues that will then be put into action throughout the school year. 

Staff and students can look forward to the return of the infamous Recycle Man as well as observe new and innovative promotional recycling and environmental advertisements as they appear throughout the school.  We are currently designing improved waste disposal prototypes and encouraging staff to turn off energy using devices when they leave their classrooms.  Help establish Our Lady of Mount Carmel as the “Green School” of Mississauga by doing your part to help us reach this goal.
