My Project

Books and reusable supplies help students learn about the climate and environment by showing real examples and encouraging Earth-friendly habits.

Books can teach how pollution, deforestation, and climate change affect people, animals, and nature.

Students learn how small actions, like recycling or planting trees, can make a big difference. Using reusable supplies in the classroom—like magnetic calendars, storage containers, and dry-erase boards—shows students how to reduce waste. These actions help protect the planet and save resources. By reading and practicing together, students become more aware of the environment and how they can help keep it clean and healthy.
