Connecting Classrooms is now a member of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) ‘Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign’ due to the schools’ commitment to plant trees to offset the carbon footprint created by international flights taken by members of the project, and the valiant efforts of some of our colleagues in helping to mobilise schools to do that and to send us reports of it, which are now on the UNEP website.
