TESOL-enviro

We are @TESOL_Assn members who are concerned about the impact of human beings on the environment. We want our students to be environmentally responsible.

[TESOL-enviro @enviro_tesol]

@GretaThunberg Ask your students to do research in their community to look at perceptions about the climate as an issue.
Then they write a report/lead a discussion panel.

[TESOL-enviro @enviro_tesol]

@Greenpeace Discuss with your students what you can all do to ease our "addiction to oil". (Pre-teach "addiction")
Ask for examples of our addiction?
Are there alternatives?
Are we willing to take the necessary steps to cut our addiction to oil?
Is it possible to go #ColdTurkey?"

@JimBair62221006 So what positive things can our students & us teachers do about this?

DISCUSS with your classes/colleagues/PTAs.
Develop a #wholeschool_community approach.

Hand wringing won't accomplish anything!

#ClimateChangeIsReal

@GretaThunberg thanks for your strength.

#ActionsSpeak!
