CASE STUDY

Collaborating with Durham Academy

Durham Academy partnered with Greenplaces to measure their carbon footprint, develop strategies for reducing the school’s footprint and engage the student body. Students helped gather data for and produced visuals to engage the broader community and help build an understanding of greenhouse gas emissions within the institution.

“They’ve been a close partner, helping us measure our emissions and engage students, parents, and faculty in the whole process. We’re happy with what their work has meant for our sustainability efforts and student knowledge of the sustainability discipline. Their team has been flexible, positive and fun – for our students as much as our adults.”

– Michael Ulku-Steiner, Head of School, Durham Academy
