The annual Pumpkin Smash is coming up the first Saturday after Halloween (November 6th, 2021). Get the word out to your students and help them be involved in a great environmental event.

If your school isn't hosting its own event, check out this blog for other ways your students can be involved!

In the same vein as the Earth Flag, we also have a Water Quality Flag! Here's the basic steps to help you school earn one:

Plan ahead for Wednesday, September 22 - it's World Car Free Day! Think of how you can avoid your car all day - it may be more difficult than you'd think. Rally your students to walk to school, carpool, or take the bus. Consider incorporating this date into your lessons, whether it be related to health, science, social studies - anything - we should educate children about this day across the globe.

Avoiding cars to reduce emissions on World Car Free Day is important, but use the experience to think of how you can lessen the use of your personal vehicle year-round. Small actions by lots of people will make a big difference in our global emissions.
