This month we are pleased to direct you to two articles on the EPA’s website regarding environmental education. As you know, you do not have to teach science exclusively in order to include elements of environmental education in your teaching.

This first article provides information for how to get more active in the process of environmental education. The second is a tool you can use to test your own individual knowledge. One of the first steps in helping children to love, respect, and protect the earth is to empower ourselves with information. Then we can implement the techniques for instilling the same information and values in children—who have a natural sense of wonder regarding the natural world.
