Learners gain an understanding of the importance of environmental stewardship and how they can participate. Learners gain awareness that they are part of a whole and that they have a responsibility to participate in caring for the Earth.
This lesson introduces learners to our global community. Learners see how they depend on the earth and the earth depends on them. Since we share the earth with many other people, we have a responsibility (for the good of all) to be good stewards of the earth by helping care for it.
The purpose of this lesson is to guide learners to participate in caring for our Earth by engaging in activities of environmental stewardship.
The learners organize a clean-up event in a defined area that needs work. They may use garden tools, collect garbage, or clean up dirty or graffiti areas.
