Earth Day 2017: March for Science!

https://youtu.be/O2eu037gj48

Earth Day is just around the corner, and, one again, organizers are encouraging educators to facilitate conversations with students about topics like climate change and nature conservation. Keeping programs that teach students how to protect our natural resources (like air and water) is vital to the future of the planet. So, as you make plans to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, don’t forget “THE EARTH SERVES ALL OF US!” Here are a few Earth Day resources from Edutopia. tlb

• Climate Education Toolkit 2017
• National Environmental Education Foundation
• The Nature Conservancy
• Earth Day Lesson Plans, Resources, Reading Lists, and Classroom Plans by Matt Davis 
• An easy, age-appropriate way to talk about the environment with younger students is through the world of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax  
• A favorite and (still) relevant resource is Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder
