Saving the Planet Starts at Home -- e-course with earth day school activities included!
"Where will the needed leadership come from, for a lifestyle that preserves the earth's
resources for future generations? It is unlikely that politicians or the entertainment media
will assume a strong leadership role - since they are powerfully affected by oil, auto and
other industries that benefit from the present consumerist lifestyle. It will have to happen
on a local level, a community level with people like you and me. We will have to make different
choices in how we spend our time and money - choices that could bring us greater happiness,
meaning, and deeper connections with others, while also bringing us into harmony with the
earth's ecosystems."
-- Judy Morgan, Environmentalist and author
This e-mail course conveys the problems and informs the learner of steps that can be taken to
start healing the environment -- starting in your own community. (The steps are adaptable for
earth day school activities) For example, what steps can be taken to reduce global warming and
hazardous waste; clean the air and waterways; green the environment; create sustainable
agriculture and renewable energy, and so on.
Being Informed and Raising Awareness is the First Step
Environmentalist Judy Morgan clearly explains the issues and problems ailing the planet.
She explains terms such as:
- Ecosystem
- Carrying capacity
- Global Warming
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Biodiversity
- Renewable Energy or more
Next she provides doable advice and life style shifts in short digestible lessons.
Suggested lesson activities can easily be adapted into earth day school activities.
If we all do our small part, it will make a BIG difference!
In decades to come, our children
will likely not have a choice but to live more consciously and responsibly. Conflicts and
suffering over water and food shortages are already a horrible reality in certain parts of
the world. This email course raises awareness, and then guides
the learner to be proactive -- starting at home.
Earth Day School Activities for the Whole Year
This informative course is suitable for the classroom, religious/spiritual groups and for the
individual who cares about the planet and future generations. Each lesson contains one key
concept and an activity, many which can be easily adapted into earth day school activities.
Links to additional resources are also provided in each lesson allowing
course to be taken from a basic to advanced level -- depending on the learner's level and interest.
Families an groups can discuss the key message and try the weekly exercises, which include
practical activities such as looking under the kitchen/bathroom/classroom sink cabinets for
cleaning products currently being used, recycling ideas, visualizations and much more. If we
can envision it, it will be.
