What’s On Your Fork resources just launched to help educators and students explore the environmental and community impact of daily food choices. Learn more!
An unprecedented national call-to-action, the Water Planet Challenge engages and empowers youth to bring about environmental change starting with water-focused projects at a local level. This online program provides science-based environmental education materials, tools, and resources for middle and high school educators and youth to design, create, and implement service-learning projects that address environmental concerns in their communities. Our goal is to give youth the tools to change their world and, over the next two years, to engage 1 million people through this Challenge. Join us now to improve the health of the environment in your community and around the world.
What educators are saying about the Water Planet Challenge:
"I incorporated the "Out the Spout" resources in my U.S. Government lesson today, to illustrate steps that citizens can take to enact social change. My students were unaware of many of these facts about our water supply, and they were very motivated to contact their representatives to improve policy."
"My broadcasting crew read, "Are You Up to the Challenge: Be Efficient - Every Drop Does Count" A message from Philippe Cousteau and has decided to take up the challenge in our school. The crew has already discussed resources, skills and talents and feel we can use our daily broadcast, to the students of the school and our viewers online, to make them aware of our water usage issues and what we can do to make sure we are not careless. Our first broadcast will be tomorrow morning. We are excited to begin."
"Love...Love...Love these guides. We have been looking at and changing the way we think about water all year. We have looked at the hydraulic video and loved the comparison of energy to the coal and oil. That was our starting point. Then we read through several of the guides. I really like the way you have the information and directions for the action guides are set up. Based on our learning of water so far this year and the steps we have implemented to have cleaner water and use less, we are now putting into effect the following guides: Down the Drain, Out the Spout, and Clean Up. These guides will give us more information and extra ideas to improve our world and our water. Again....I LOVE IT."
