The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical role buildings play globally in providing and maintaining a conducive indoor environment to support health, safety and well-being of building occupants. As we emerge from one COVID-19 wave, and pass through another, its imperative that we arm our facilities with tools to stay healthy and resilient.
In this webinar, two experts from American Heart Association will talk about the importance of safe drinking water and how the proper policies can build a culture of health in our schools.
Because children spend so much time at school, having safe and appealing water available to them is critical. When children don’t have enough water to drink, their health and their cognitive performance may suffer. And, when water is not available, children tend to consume more sugary drinks, which are linked to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. All kids should have access to water at no charge in school.
Whether its teaching about energy efficiency, climate change or social equity – educators play a crucial role in molding children to be part of an ever-changing world. Empowered educators have proven to not only lead by an example but also lay the groundwork for the generational shift we need today. GBRI, an online sustainability education leader, is launching its certified sustainability teacher program for educators around the world.
Author Claire Latané will join us to discuss her 2021 book, Schools That Heal: Design with Mental Health in Mind.
Advocating for what is right sounds fantastic, but how can it be implemented in reality? It all starts with education. Global warming is becoming a greater concern with each passing day; from warmer ocean waters to melting glaciers, every day global warming poses a challenge to society. We, humans, have aggravated the effects of climate change. However, we also have the power to have a good impact on our planet, its flora and fauna, and the life that surrounds us humans.
Join us, as we embark on a journey with a panel of 7 diverse speakers to better understand climate change, it’s causes, and impacts, and identify meaningful actions for all of us.
