PROGRAMSEEAP is proud to announce the launch of HASTE (The Hub for Action on School Transport Emissions). HASTE is a resource and networking center, to help students, teachers and schools initiate or continue programs and projects designed to reduce the environmental impacts of their transportation choices. If you are looking to find the information, tools and links you need to effectively take action on transportation emissions, and plan active and safe routes to school, visit The Hub. For more information on this program, contact the Program Manager The Your U-Turn program will be delivered to Planning 10 classrooms in the City of Surrey. The goal of the project is to create a community network that will support youth volunteer action projects which address issues of clean air, climate change, and environmental stewardship, and that will in turn promote the benefits of improved health for individuals and the community as a whole. Grades 10,11, 12 can benefit from participating in this program, which will assist students to complete 30 hours of community and/or work experience required to satisfy the Graduation Transitions Framework. The Your U-turn website will be available October 31st. Check back to learn more about this exciting initiative or contact the Project Coordinator, PAST PROGRAMSEEAP was first established in 2003 with the invention of the Sustainability Suitcase, an in-class tool that introduced students to the concept of energy saving in their homes, and how related decisions have an impact on our environment. The Sustainability suitcase was awarded the NRCan Innovative Sustainability outreach award in 2004 and was featured in TIME magazine. Other projects of interest include:
