The MECʼs 2-year travel is CARBON NEUTRAL
Between 2013 & 2015, driving the trailer around NB has generated 11 tons of carbon emmissions. We have partnered with Community Forests International to purchase offsets for that amount in the form of reforestation carbon storage. We asked students knowledge-based questions before and after the program: YES
