Hi, My name is Cathy and I teach science at a high school in New Jersey. I just submitted my participation form for my AP Environmental Science class. Do we need to wait for the participation form to be approved before my students can begin calculating their carbon footprints?

I’m looking forward to having my students participate in the discussion.

Hello, this is Noam from Seattle, WA, USA. I teach biology and physical science at Ballard High School in Seattle Public Schools. My biology students just completed the carbon footprint challenge. I am excited to help them connect with others around the world on this important issue.

Hi
I’m Bernat from Benidorm, Spain, we have already calculated our footprint we are looking forward to participate in the discussions
Congratulations for such a great tool and project

all the best

Hello again from Mikael Elias gymnasium Stadshagen, Stockholm Sweden!

Looking forward to read the discussions again! If anyone would like to arrange skype meetings with my pupils to discuss sustainable development feel free to contact me!

My pupils are the age of 16 and just about to finish their first year of nature science studies at college level (upper secondary school).

Warm wishes

Hello,

My name is Dubravka and I am a teacher from Požega, Croatia. My pupils and I participated in November 2011 and February 2012 ISCFC, and it was really a rewarding experience so we have decided to join you again.

Here is a link leading to our school web pages (http://www.gimpoz.hr/novosti/797-we-are-the-solution ) where we have published the invitation for the April session accompanied with a short summary of our previous activities and some interesting videos we had used in our discussions. We have added some photograps as well and hope you will enjoy watching them.

I must admit that we will be a little late with our activities this time because we have just returned from a school excursion to Budapest (Hungary) and we will spend this weekend in Pecs and Kopacki Rit (here is some basic information and a short video clip in case you are interested in taking a glimpse of one of Croatian nature parks: http://www.kopacki-rit.com/video-en.html).

I wish you all a pleasant Earth Day and think it would be really a good idea if we could all join or host „Picnic for the Planet events“ ( http://www.nature.org/earthday/index.htm ) and maybe help set the world record?!

Looking forward to reading your posts,

Dubravka

Welcome to new teachers and students joining us from Bolivia, Brazil, China, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Egypt, Ghana, France, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United States, and Venezuela. Participating in the ISCFC seems like a wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day, April 22nd!
Cheers,

Hello from Stockholm, Sweden. I’m a science/chemistry teacher here and we’ll be participating in some discussions and writing a general report based fom other countries on their findings…

Dear ISCFC teachers-

We now have our first April 2012 pin on the world map representing the student footprints and statistics from Ian Heathcote’s Environmental Science class at Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas, Venezuela!

Felicitaciones!

Which schools across the world will be next?

Hi, Everybody:
My name is Ann Smart. I teach Environmental Science in New Orleans, LA, USA, and am VERY NEW to this program. I just heard about it last week and got registered as soon as I heard about it. My students will begin calculating their footprints on Monday. I think they will be in for a very rude awakening. They think they are doing well if they place a piece of paper into the recycle box in the classroom. I can’t wait for them to do the calculations and to see what students in other countries are doing for the Earth. Thanks for this program
