Curricula and Classrooms

Integrating environmental education into a school’s curricula and classroom is just as important as greening the facility. In addition to seeing the physical changes around them, it is necessary for students to learn why greening their lives is important and what they can do at school and at home. Our nation’s future relies on a well-educated public to be conscious of the very environment that sustains us, our families, and future generations; yet studies consistently reveal that the U.S. public suffers from a tremendous environmental literacy gap that appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. With people around the world incorporating more green into their lives, we need to do the same with our education to ensure that future generations will continue to make our environment more sustainable. Begin integrating conservation practices in your classroom and, along with other efforts your school is making to go green, you can easily turn these examples into cross-curricular learning experiences for your students.
