Preface :
As a group, our vision was to tackle an issue that we felt strong about. We decided that there was no better place to look than the world we live in.
This resource package was designed to help teachers and other educators begin to deal with the issues in our environment. Issues like reducing our carbon footprint, sustainability, and green washing are all touched on within this package.
It was our goal to educate students on viable and sustainable strategies that would get them to critically analyze and change their current practices. Our approach was not to simply educate these students; rather we wanted to open their eyes to what they can do to help
Finally, this resource package was designed to encompass many of the Ontario Curriculum strands. All of the environmental lessons and resources included are designed to make strong cross curricular connections while delivering environmental awareness.
It is our hope that teacher’s throughout the world will begin to use our ideas in their classrooms.
