TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES


Daily opportunities to
TEACH and EMPOWER

Every day there are opportunities to teach children how to “see” and “live” green. Preparing yourself for a teachable moment only takes a little time and inspiration.

For younger children, the traditional show and tell model used in schools often works best. For older children, try and tell is most effective. Whatever the child’s age, the key to success is having some knowledge yourself along with the tools and activities to support it.

What does it mean to
“LIVE” GREEN?

Living green means adopting a lifestyle that ultimately protects the future of our planet. To do so, you must put into practice green living skills that minimize harm to our environment, our communitites and ultimately our lives and the lives of future generations. Often referred to as being “eco-friendly”, adopting even the simplest of green living practices can have a dramatic impact on creating a more sustainable earth.
