We’re pleased to announce that we’ve expanded on our “International” repertoire, and have released materials for EarthEcho Expeditions: What’s the Catch? in Spanish! The environmental issues we cover in our Expedition have global impacts, and we are excited to provide these free, engaging resources to even more teachers and students around the world.
Spring is the perfect time to take a walk, use your senses, and discover what’s coming to life. Roll up your sleeves and get some of that wonderful sunshine Vitamin D. See if you can observe a bird building a nest. Listen to their unique singing voices. Enjoy a picnic outside. Spread a blanket on the ground where you can smell the earth coming to life. Look for the insects that have emerged. Turn over a rock or log and find a salamander. Have you seen a chipmunk yet? Play a game of “I spy” outside. Be thankful for all that you have and your surroundings. Remember that kindness and empathy are your key vocabulary words during this time.
At EarthEcho, we are environmentalists, youth leaders, educators, parents and mentors who believe youth have the power to change our world for the better. April is traditionally a month that we dedicate to celebrating our planet and what we can do to protect it. As Earth Day approaches this year, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite at-home activities that individuals and families can do to help restore the planet and each other.
