Happy Earth Day!

Knowing what we know, that may be an oxymoron. But we like to stay positive and also know that hope springs from action. That’s why we do what we do, encouraging educators around the world to respond to the climate and ecological crisis personally and in their organisations.

So on Earth Day 2025 the founder of Green Action ELT, Chris Etchells, will be joining the Earth Day Special IATEFL Live! Show. The livestream will be broadcast to the IATEFL Facebook page, LinkedIn, and YouTube site.

I have no idea what questions I’ll be asked, but I’ll try to keep it positive! I hope you can join us.

Best wishes, Chris Etchells
