Greening CIS December is a pivotal month for Go on Green, and for the global climate community, as COP15 will be held at the Bella Center in Copenhagen 7-18 December. COP15 is the 15 th conference of the parties (COP) held as part of the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). For 2 weeks the world will watch as global leaders carve out the rules for climate change, right here in Copenhagen! Although COP15 is only open to governments, UN observer organizations, and the press, there are ways to be involved. To find out more about COP15, and to access links to events in Copenhagen during the conference, please visit the Links and Facts area on the Greening tab of the school web site. To support the global climate community and COP15, CIS will hold a Climate Conference the evenings of 7- 10 December. Whereas the focus of many COP15 events in Copenhagen will be the official negotiations at the Bella Center, the focus of the CIS Climate Conference will be to highlight climate change in fun and creative ways that are accessible to our school community. The CIS Climate Conference events will range from film screenings, to a climate change game show, to seminars. Please visit the CIS Climate Conference area on the Greening tab of the school web site to read more about the conference schedule, and to register. Please register now, as space is limited! PYP 2 students recently conducted a Waste Audit at local businesses. Here, students inspect Super Brugsen’s recycling procedures. The Greenies, under the guidance of Mr. Simon Watkin, have been busy developing the questions for the climate change game show that will be held on the 2 nd day of the CIS Climate Conference. Go on Green has made significant progress toward the goal of obtaining a Green Flag. And stay tuned for a very exciting event for Earth Day 2010! We hope to see you at the CIS Climate Conference 7- 10 December! Go on Green! Fun fact: Why did we form the number 350 for the all-school photo in October? Because 350 parts per million (ppm) is the acceptable upper-limit of C0 2 in the atmosphere. CIS shares the worldwide commitment to reach the goal of 350 ppm. Beyond COP15, Go on Green has many exciting upcoming events. Roots & Shoots is still preparing for their Trashion Show on 28-29 January. If you can help, please contact Ms. Faye McAuley (fayemcauley@cisdk.dk).
