EcoSchools Training 2012Eco Schools Training
Photographer and documentarian Camille Seaman opened the annual GECDSB EcoSchools workshop with some inspiring and thought provoking words and pictures. "We are connected to each other and everything around us," she told the 450 students and staff members from across the Board. Ms. Seaman is internationally renowned for her photographs and videos of the Polar regions, especially icebergs, many of which she showed her audience.
The annual EcoSchools conference brings together EcoTeams from every school for a day of information and inspiration.
The program concluded with a presentation from Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield, who compared life on Earth, "our space ship", to life on the International Space Station, which he will command next year. "Worrying doesn't accomplish anything," Colonel Hadfield responded to a student question of whether he was worried about the Earth. "I identify things that I can do something about and I focus on that."
