EcoSource’s 2010 - 11 Green Schools Applications are Available! 

Is your school ready to be the next EcoSource Green School?

The Green School program is a partnership between Ecosource and selected elementary and secondary schools.  This intensive one year program is designed to provide extra support to staff and students to look at their practices around waste and to think of alternative systems or procedures that better value our resources.  The program provides workshops, waste audits, field trips, hands-on activities, teacher professional development, campaigns, and a dedicated Ecosource staff person to coordinate this full year of programming. 

Looking to take a tasty bite out of climate change? Interested in supporting farmers in the Greenbelt and throughout Ontario? EcoSource can connect you with food schools in the area that specialize in catering using fresh, local ingredients from in and around Ontario's Greenbelt! We have worked with schools in Peel, Wellington and Halton Regions.  These schools have top notch catering programs that teach youth how to serve up food that's good to eat, and good for the planet.

The first ever Go Ontario! Granola bar!

Made with nothing but Ontario ingredients, this granola bar will give you a boost with Ontario cranberries, and cherries and apples from Ontario's Greenbelt. Organic Ontario oats and Greenbelt honey are the only other ingredients!

The Peel Environmental Youth Alliance has launched their PEYA Online Community at www.peyalliance.com! The website allows Peel students to join meetings, workshops or speaker events “virtually”, as well as create their own environment project pages, and access news and resources. Students can also apply to the PEYA Alumni mentorship program, and sign up for volunteer opportunities on the website!
