Sustainable Change

11/20/2013

Check your list of renewable resources. Were there resources marked 's' for sustainable use? Focus here to find a resource which you could use more sustainably.

So far this six weeks your project opportunities have been:

• 30 second PSA on water resources.
• 1 week Family Water Use Survey

And now:

• Sustainable Change Poster due DEC 2

Requirements:
Create a 2 foot by 2 foot poster on colored paper which will wrap a ceiling tile. The theme for your poster is Sustainable Change. Identify one action you can take that will result in conservation of a resource. Your poster should show the action and the outcome of this change. Your name and title must be legible and ON THE FRONT of the poster.

We will wrap ceiling tiles in the classroom and the hall as we want your schoolmates to get the message!
