  • Description:
    The Plastic Pollution and You curriculum is designed to supplement existing educational materials on plastic pollution and marine debris that connect students to these issues in their watershed. To build upon the existing efforts to educate students on the ecological impacts of this issue, we have created a cross-disciplinary curriculum that can be adapted to a wide range of grade levels. These activities will not only increase your student’s environmental literacy and develop interest in environmental careers but also deepen the understanding of the inequities that many students, educators, and communities contend with and how we can all play a role in addressing them. We have found that a broader approach to environmental education that incorporates civic responsibility and environmental justice components is engaging for educators and students and can empower them to respond to environmental issues in their own communities.
