I would like to share an Earth Day project for those who do not have something already organized. Please visit the website link here for more information. Also, check out the educational opportunity posted there, for the global warming Arctic exploration project currently happening. All educators and children can tap into this Live opportunity that is also partnered with National Geographic. Not only does the Earth Day Cleaner Kit Project have a measurable impact on the environment, it also produces healthy, safe benefits for the children and adults in the personal environment where the cleaners are used. Also, Earth Day contributions will happen day in and day out, throughout the year with a green project such as this.
Hi all, I live in a Middle Eastern country and the waste and pollution here is out of this world. Our students learn little about the environment and don't really have a grasp on the contribution they make to its demise. I have a list of stats with big, scary numbers but I'm having trouble illustrating it in a way they can get their heads around. I am looking for an activity that actually illustrates these stats if anyone has one. Thank you
I'm glad you can use the idea. Of course, you'll have to find out the percentages of trash as they relate to YOUR landfills or however you dispose of solid waste. Good luck!
I have very young toddlers this year. DOes anyone have crafts for earth day for 18 month olds -2 and half year olds. I want to do this activity during week of the young child. Thanks for all of your help. Heather
I am a lead teacher in a toddler class and we do have very young toddlers, youd be suprised on what they retain. We plant flowers or grass. They enjoy helping to plant them and watching them grow, thats understanding how the earth works...I believe any age is a good time. Try planting something together. Dirt in the sensory table or other natural objects and through everything explain earth day and how we keep it clean...etc.

I was excited about doing the grocery bag project I read about online, but the local supermarkets say they cannot participate due to health department regulations. They say the bags will be considered "used" after they are decorated. Has anyone does this this year? If so, can you say what supermarket chain worked with you on this? Thanks

We did the project last year. We did not go into mass market grocery chains but used supermarkets that specialize in organic foods, etc because they generally only use paper bags and carry out environmental awareness projects themselves. They were very willing and excited about the project. So maybe try stores like that in your area.
