A Vancouver society, the Sage

Foundation, is immersed in a new-

tion if their district doesn't get
involved in the above-mentioned
Destination Conservation,

The Ministry of Environment,
Lands and Parks offers the
EcoEducation program, which
includes garbage reduction and
composting workshops, hazardous
waste information, and a binder full
of teacher resources and an award-
winning Eco the Ecosaurus video,

Already aver 100,000 students
have pledged to become members
of the Green Team, a province-
wide youth movement of garbage
reduction advocates, and the EeoEd
program will visit over 150 schools
in the 1993/94 academic year us
part of ts effort to reach every ele-
mentary student in the province.

For more information call
Helene Kraushaar at 683-0127,

Some schools, such as Cove
Cliff in Deep Cove, are also part of
the Green School program adminis-
tered by the Alberta-based SEEDS
Foundation,

For information on becoming a
Green School and taking part ina
variety of conservation inilialives
aimed at students, write the SEEDS
Foundation, 440 - $0169 104th SL,
Edmonton Alta., DSS 1A5,

to-B.C. project that promises signif-
icant benefits to provincial schoo!
districts.

Under the program, school dis-
tricts register in Destination
Conservation, with, hopefully, the
majority of the schools within that
district participating.

A technical consultant with the
Sage Foundation performs a walk-
through audit of the schools and
prepares a report suggesting low-
cost ways energy and resource use
could be decreased.

Conservation clubs within the
schools —- consisting of a lead
teacher and students — also do
audits of water and energy use, and
solid waste production.

Over the three-year program, the
schools are monitored and support-
ed by the Sage Foundation. Of the
savings that are reaped by imple-
menting the program, 10% goes
back to Sage.

Sage suggests that of the
remaining 90%, 60% go to the
school district for further energy-
saving retrofits in the schools, 25%
go to the schools themselves, and -
5% to the custedian or maintenance
staff responsible for implementing
the structural changes. For informa--
tion, call Sage at 669-6298.
