On behalf of the Eco committee, Emanuel School has partnered with Ecologi, which is a company specialising in helping offset CO2 emissions.
Over the October half-term, we had three trips to Rome, Barcelona the Netherlands, and whilst the benefits of exploring other cultures and sites is extensive and an important part of education, we are not oblivious to the impacts this has on our climate. To support a more sustainable future, for all trips we are now calculating what each pupil’s carbon footprint will be, and asking families for a voluntary contribution to the Emanuel Forest to help offset these emissions.
The Eco committee is thrilled to announce families have already contributed enough to plant 875 trees and support two projects in Peru and Thailand (protecting the Tambopata-Bahuaja Biodiversity Reserve in Peru and a wind power project in Thailand)!
If you would like to calculate your carbon footprint you can use this tool and if you would like to go a step further and help grow the Emanuel Forest you can do so here.
