Total garbage before: 54.98 kg
Total garbage after: 8.83 kg
Total green: 21.24 kg

Liquid: 5.69 kg


Themes to consider:

Energy - 
Waste -
Water - 
GHG emissions/Paris accord - 30% below by 2030 and 80% below by 2050 
School Renovations - 
New Schools - 

Task: Ask questions to our panelists and engage in discussion about HDSB transitioning to a more sustainable institution.  

  1. In table groups, use the chart paper to first list DATA that is important to the task at hand. Use the resources above and further online research. Please clarify and ask me questions.   
  2. Use a second sheet of chart paper to make statements about the data gathered.
  3. Use a final sheet of chat paper to write articulate questions and discussion starters about how and when HDSB can and should transition to a sustainable institution. 
  4. Time permitting start again at the beginning and ask what types of data was chosen and why. Are there data points that were missed and if so how might they change the statement and question sections.
