Climate Change in Schools: Prevention and Education
Creating a conversation and action plan around the climate crisis in schools will not only
lead to a reduction in carbon emissions, but also foster a culture of sustainabliity and civic
responsibility in the student body.
Wasteful Status Quo
From paper and food waste to transportation and electricity, schools are some of the most polluting
institutions in a given county and state. Check out the Prevention tab to find ways to
reduce waste some of those sectors and thus, save money!
Education Leads to Action
With climate change being branded as political, many school administrations have avoided speaking on
the very real threats the climate crisis poses to the communities they serve. By implementing climate action
curricula and special courses for grades K-12, students will be more conscious citizens and active
leaders of solutions for their towns. Check out the Eduation tab to find more resources!
