Our plan is to engage in an ongoing effort
to establish the first school curriculum for
environmental awareness to be taught in
schools from kindergarten through 12th
grade.
We already teach Science, English, Math,
Government, Art and Machine Shop. We should
also be teaching Environment; focused
learning, with all aspects discussed and
studied from basic recycling & wildlife
protection to the consequences of production
and consumption to knowing chemical
compounds in plastics, how they work and
what to expect for our future.
Yes, we already touch lightly on these
subjects in today’s school curriculums. It’s
not enough. Yes, we already celebrate one
day a year to promoting awareness to
pollution, cleaning our beaches and being
“green”. It’s not enough.
Imagine, if we were to begin today, 20 years
down the road we’ll have the FIRST
generation of people who, from a very early
age, will have been raised knowing
the impact and repercussions OUR
actions have on the planet and what
responsibilities we have to be better
stewards of our natural world.
We cannot allow ourselves to hand over a
filth enriched planet to our own children
knowing we taught them little if anything
about how to solve the problems their
parents left as their inheritance. It’s time
to get serious about this. We are running
out of time. We must ACT now!
We must all agree the cost associated with
this change is insignificant compared to the
dire repercussions to our economy, our
populations and our planet should we do
nothing.
We need your help. Please support us in
implementing concentrated environmental
studies in our schools and donate to this
worthy cause.
