Students brainstorm the negative impacts humans have on the earth and learn to call this term the carbon or ecological footprint. They then explore their outdoor space to identify both the negative and positive impacts humans have on the environment. Next, positive actions humans can take to make the planet sustainable are researched so that students can generate a list of things kids can do to sustain the earth. Students make and present posters of the things they will personally commit to doing. As an optional, but impactful activity, a tree is planted in the outdoor space, marking the commitment to continue to reduce ecological footprints and increasing ecological handprint, leading to a more sustainable planet.
