In this civic engagement lesson, students explore Green Ribbon Schools, audit their own school’s practices, and write sustainability proposals.
Inquire: Students reflect on their experience of climate change education and sustainability practices at their school.
Investigate: Students learn how schools across the country have implemented the three pillars of Green Ribbon Schools and then participate in a “tour” to evaluate their own school.
Inspire: Students create and present a proposal for an action to improve their school’s sustainability.
