Educational Lesson Plans

Universities

University campuses provide an extremely rich opportunity to educate the leaders of tomorrow in the best practices of sustainability. From classes and programs in civic engagement to campus activities and student engagement initiatives, the Cube is a great way to spread the best practices of sustainability in a very memorable way. You can start by adapting one of the sample events to an older audience and build on these with your own ideas.

K - 12

The lessons on each of the five tenets include a wealth of information and activities geared toward helping students understand the real-world implications and importance of being a sustainable citizen of the planet.

Efficiency

Doing more with less is a vital part to leading a more sustainable life.

Recycle

We only have a finite amount of resources on our planet so it's important to get the most out of them by recycling.

Reduction

Reducing the amount of resources we use is a great way to lessen our footprint.

Re-use

Re-using the resources we already have means not having to waste water and materials making new ones.

Education

It's great that each of us makes a personal pledge, though the Initiative can't grow if our friends and neighbors don't also understand how they can make a positive impact.
