Student Climate Change Solutions Contest

As the 40th anniversary of Earth Day approaches, we wanted to start this school year thinking green! Earth Day Network held a back-to-school Student Climate Change Solutions Contest for K-4th graders inspired by the “think green for kids book,” Planet Earth Gets Well by Madeline Kaplan.

As an extension to this contest, check out our “Healthy Earth, Sick Earth” lesson plan based on Planet Earth Gets Well. This book may be purchased at a discounted rate for teachers. Visit http://www.planetearthgetswell.com/ for more information.

Listen to Education Coordinator Brenna Holzhauer and author Madeline Kaplan talk about Planet Earth Gets Well and the Student Climate Change Solutions Contest here!

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who submitted entries to our Student Climate Change Solutions poster contest!

My poster shows ideas for solutions to stopping climate change. Recycling helps our planet keep valuable resources and stop waste. We can all work together to recycle many products we all use everyday. My poster shows some ideas for how everyday products can be recycled into new ones.
