DONATE
Check out this exciting non-profit that I Co-founded called the Richmond Grows Seed Lending Library. It's a seed lending library located in a public library where members of the public can "borrow" seeds for free. Learn how to create a seed lending library in your own community or school.

2 Steps a Month -
Community Disaster Preparedness

Picture
Get you and your community better prepared for an emergency with 2 steps a month to emergency preparedness. This program was originally designed by Rebecca Newburn for use in her middle school earth science class as part of their study on earthquakes and severe weather. The site includes teacher, as well as community organizer, tips, videos and strategies to implement the program.

Earth Care Education

Picture
Earth Care Education includes science and math resources that encourage students to be environrmental stewards. The intention is create an on-line community to shift the consciousness of the planet through increased awareness, awakening and inspiration to create a livable, joyous and socially just planet.  Earth Care Geek is the student created website that explores different key environmental issues of our time. Each individual site has a Learn, Act, and Geek Out sections for different issues.

Zero Waste October

Picture
Join the movement to transition to Zero Waste! Celebrate October Zero Waste Month by taking the 31 Day Zero Waste Challenge. It's easier than you think... and fun too! Our website has resources to support classroom teachers to educate students about the plastic pollution problem and solutions. There is also a proclamation that schools and districts can pass making October Zero Waste month. Here is an excellent blog post about what we did at our school.
