The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard

Found this video interesting and because I was not sure about the copyright, I am attaching a link to this forum and hoping to generate some conversation. Please include any initiatives that your schools are taking to teach students about the environment, sustainability and or global issues affecting our own world. Although it strikes a chord on many levels, I think it's main purpose is to get us to think about "all our stufff" and its impact on the Earth.

Does your environmental group run as part of a STEM program? I would be interested in connecting your students with some of my students. We are thinking of running a "design an energy effective solution" to ... We are still a work in progress but the connection may fit.

Blanca,

I am looking for opportunities to connect our schools with content-related classes from other schools using remote technology. If you come across any possibilities let me know.

Bill, what types of remote technologies are you using? I could open up a group for connecting schools to each other on this site. I'll do that and invite you in. Others can join as well.
