The Environment

With your group, decide on one thing you can do to help the environment.

Then go out and do it.

Then report back to the class and give a presentation on:

• What you did
• Why you did it
• And how you felt about the experience

Possible things you can do to help the environment:

• Walk to work/school for one week instead of driving
• Take public transportation for one week instead of driving
• Ride a bicycle for one week instead of driving
• Don’t use the air-conditioner for one week
• Don’t use the television for one week
• Eat vegetarian for one week
• Recycle all your rubbish
• Volunteer to help clean up the streets/parks/rivers in your city
• Volunteer at a recycling center
• Make a newsletter to educate your friends about the environment, and then hand it out to your friends
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator for one week
• Don’t take a shower or bath for one week
• Or your own ideas

Group Plan

Decide on a group name:
Who are the members in your group?
How will you contact each other outside of class?
What is your idea for helping the environment?
When is the presentation due?
