One of our biggest focuses is to be as environmentally responsible as we can. Reuse has been proven to be far better for the environment than recycling and youth are more aware of the issues than previous generations. CFSNB will work with you to encourage your students to be environmentally responsible and explore all of the various aspects of IT.
