Make Public Schools in Your State Go Green
Target: State Governors
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
It's time to teach our children to "think green." Alternative schools have the unique ability to integrate green-minded curriculum into the classroom. But green curriculum in schools will only work if it is encouraged and supported by your state's governor.
One such green school, a public charter school in New York, is reshaping curriculum, teaching and learning spaces to integrate the ecological, social and economic facets of sustainability into a whole-school model.
These green charter schools strive to teach required subjects in the context of environmental education. Children learn math through measuring trees and leaves and understand relative differences as they learn that elms are taller than box elders. Green public charter schools can offer courses like sustainable gardening, where the products of gardening lessons can be used as healthy snacks promoting both healthy and green living.
Tell your state's governor to support green curriculum in public schools, teaching our children to Think Green.

Eat more veggies. I'm not saying don't eat any meat by any means, but for each vegetarian meal your family eats, you can save up to 238 gallons of water (used to help animals that make the meat you eat). Cattle can produce CO2, and by cutting that down, you are going green!
