This week, Greenfox5 and YSEC Education held two meetings together. On Tuesday, we discussed partners for classrooms (at this point, about two to three educators will teach one class) and the logistics of getting to schools (we hope to utilize Dwight Hall's car reservation service). On Thursday, we determined who was going into classrooms on which days (there will be groups teaching on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday this week) and reviewed our "Waste" lesson plan, the first workshop we will be teaching. We are thrilled to be entering classrooms this week! Our lesson plan includes presenting an interactive powerpoint during the first half of class and then working with students on a project focused on reusing water bottles during the second half of class.
On another note, here's an interesting TED talk given by Alex Steffen, cofounder and executive editor of WorldChanging.com, an online clearinghouse of information on the environment and they ways we can work towards a sustainable future. In this lecture he discusses how we can reduce our ecological footprint and change our impact on the planet. Check out his TED talk (all you need is 20 minutes!) to learn about how to reduce your own carbon footprint.
We at Greenfox5 are excited about our first classrooms coming up this week!
Check in with us soon for more updates,
