Environmental Education (EE) plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between knowledge and action, and the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of informed actions to combat airborne diseases. This work is a case study on the University of Calgary, Canada, focusing primarily on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) monitoring to promote EE in indoor educational settings and recommendations for the use of CO2 monitoring in classrooms. The urgency to contain the spread of airborne infections demands a broader understanding of the role of CO2 in air quality and health. Monitoring CO2 in indoor environments can enhance this understanding, inform mitigation strategies, and hold institutions accountable for providing safe environments.
