Climate Change & Active School Travel
Go Green Travel Clean
The Human Environments Analysis Laboratory at Western University received funding to support the development of educational materials and messaging to connect Active School Travel with Climate Change. The following are resources available to use in schools and within the community.
Check out the wonderful videos that were created by the project team about Walking & Wheeling to School, Walking to the Bus Stop and Taking the Bus, and Anti-Idling. See below for social media messaging to promote these videos.

Climate Change Toolkit
We have created a guide that contains all the information needed to promote active travel and combat climate change at your school. All of the resources centre around the three themes of this campaign: Walk to School; Take the School Bus; and Idle Free for the Kids. In this guide you will find resources such as a facilitator's guide, social media campaigns, school announcements and newsletters, and activities with curriculum connections.
