These lesson plans ranged from local issues, like aquifer pollution, to global issues such as global warming. These plans highlight some of the components that factor into these problems, and the effects that they have on our planet. Also they contain easy ways that we can all be more green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e49cb3c08a4464bbd8359d8/1585254603937-YDFRO17YEYRVO3YKQRNC/image-asset.jpeg Home - Activities/ Town Initiatives One way to get kids involved with the environment is by having them do an imaginative interactive game/ activity that can illustrate and motivate them to make a change that can have an impact on their world. The activities I chose for the kids were meant to plant that seed of change. Another way to have children get involved in their environment is to start with their own town. The Town of North Hempstead has many initiatives that they have instituted through its “How Green is My Town” program, which provides residents with environmental education enabling them to become more environmentally friendly. For my project I implemented one of the Town’s initiatives by donating a composter to the EOC, which will be used to produce organic fertilizer for their organic vegetable garden. Below is a link to the town’s website where all of their initiatives are listed. https://manhassetgreenwisekids.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292809235-XZT8EMYC8YNFNGLGWJKE/20140302_Trade%2B151_0503.jpg Home - Our Organization Find out about our mission, methods, and the results of our decades of advocacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565894861758-1VX9YII126C6IJKL3AQP/Aro%252BHa_0073.jpg Home - Take Action Ready to take the next step?
