With warming weather and increasing sunshine, May is the perfect time to engage students with activities that foster sustainable thinking and behaviors. Teaching students about the impacts they have on their environment offers rewarding behavior changes and emotional and intellectual benefits, regardless of the complexity of the lesson. With the #WhyITeachGreen campaign this May, we’re making it easy, fun, and rewarding to teach green by recommending lessons, encouraging you to share your experiences, and by offering prizes for participation.

For the duration of the #WhyITeachGreen campaign, teachers can explore sustainability themed lessons for free, teach a lesson that works for their classroom, and share their experience for a chance to win a prize. Each lesson taught will equal one contest entry; so the more you teach sustainability, the more likely you are to win!
