The Canty School community is culturally diverse and families of varying cultural groups hold different perspectives on the topics of the environment and human rights. This fair is designed to recognize and respect these differences and to work toward a common goal of improving the physical environment of all our citizens.

  3. What are the 4 R’s? • Reduce • Reuse • Recycle • Human Rights

  4. Human Rights and the Environment All humans depend on a safe, clean, and healthy environment. Without a healthy environment in which to live, humans are unable to fulfill their hopes and dreams and live a life of pride and dignity. Conversely, the protection of human rights also helps protect the environment. When people are empowered to learn and participate in decision making, they are able to ensure the decisions made help protect and sustain their physical environments.
