John Baumann is treasurer on the board of EEON. He has been an elementary teacher and environmental educator in the Toronto area for 27 years. He has served as a volunteer on the boards of Fair Vote Canada and Fair Vote Toronto, as well as on the board of the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT).

John owes much of his love of nature to experiences his father shared with him when he was a child. He believes that childhood is the best time for this kind of deep learning, and that educators and schools can be leaders in shifting our culture towards ways of living that are sustainable and responsible, and which flatten the climate curve.
