First Assignment

http://www.nwf.org/ecoschools/sweepstakes.cfm

National Wildlife Federation has teamed up with the movie Shorts and FTL Solar to introduce the Eco-Schools USA: Rock Your Green Wish with the Movie Shorts Sweepstakes.

Students in grades 1 through 12 can post their “green wishes” for their school online through September 17th. The winning school will receive a portable solar tent to be used as an outdoor classroom from FTL Solar.

Submissions are flooding in - Check out what students are wishing:

“I wish that our school had more windows for sun light so that we did not waste so much electricity.”


“I wish teachers would waste less paper by uploading handouts and lessons on the internet, as opposed to printing them off.”


“I want the school to have a green roof, possibly something that could contribute to sustainable agriculture.”

Work with your local schools and the Eco-Schools USA program - greening the building, the grounds and the curriculum. National Wildlife Federation was recently granted official status as the host for Eco-Schools USA. The acclaimed global program provides a framework to help educators and students integrate sustainable principles in their classrooms, schools and communities.

Make your "green wish" today!

Sincerely,

Eliza Signature
