StudentsStudent-led water conservation, waste reduction, and energy efficiency

When students are involved in environmental initiatives, such as EarthCARE, things happen! If you would like your school or board to learn more about EarthCARE and participate in the program, there are many actions you can take:

  1. Write a letter or send and email to your Principal, Director of Education, and/or the Chair of your Board and tell them what you know about EarthCARE asking them how it could be a part of your board's program.
  2. Make a presentation to your School Council and tell them why you want to participate in EarthCARE.
  3. Ask people to check out the EarthCARE website to learn more about the program.
  4. Talk to your custodian about getting an environmental program started in the school.
  5. Try some of the EarthCARE environmental activities posted on this website in your school.
  6. Check out the EarthCARE environmental lesson plans on this website and ask your teacher if you can try one in your class.

Teachers

Teachers are the key facilitators in the EarthCARE program. Your actions and attitudes have a significant impact on the leaders of tomorrow. If you are interested in participating in EarthCARE, talk to your principal. Share this website with your colleagues. Try some of the EarthCARE environmental lesson plans and activities and learn first hand the benefits of the program. Work with a group of like-minded teachers, students, administrators, and parents to make a presentation to senior staff about EarthCARE and why you want to be more involved.
