Harvesting lettuce

Grown-ups serving grilled bread and lettuce

Louis helping Tish blend juice

Rain holding off allowing

Solar ovens both manufactured and...

 kid made to make nachos and s'mores.






Students teaching students through poetry
and song

and a news cast...
Attentive learners

Irrigating greens with see-through pipes.

Irrigating is fun.


Using words and pictures,

Games,

models  and 
puppet shows to teach about the Earth.


Luna's Sun Song

Save the Earth
 by Luna Bernard

I love the way the Sun just shines.
I love it. I love it.
I love the way the Sun just shines.
If you want to help the Earth, turn off
The lights when you leave the house.
It’s how we can save money and power.
That’s what it’s all about.
Saving power is better than wasting it.
 The Sun helps more than we think.
 Sometimes in life we got to think before we waste anything.
So we can do our part.
We can make a solar power oven.
 We can make smoothies with a bike.
 Just step in and just do your part.

Electricity Poem by Sam

Electricity,
Electricity,
It lights up
our city.
Some people
think it's good but it actually is not
Nor is it a good thought
It pollutes our Earth,
And pollutes our dirt.
It's enough pollution to make a huge giant skirt
Electricity
It lights
up our city.

Satchel and Stokely Rap on Climate Change

Hey everybody
Here's a tale
About why renewable energy
Shouldn't be put in a pail.

The fossil fuels are hurting the animals
The poor little polar bears are living on ice cubes.

Stop burning coal,
It's bad for the environment.
The environment.
The environment.
Yeah!

The carbon dioxide that's in the air.
Polluting the earth like it just doesn't care
The water level rises and melts the ice..
Now
That's not nice

Stop burning oil,
It's bad for the environment.
The environment.
The environment.
Yeah!

Renewable energy is the big new thing
So hey
The hydro, wind, and solar powers
Don't let out as much CO2 in an hour
Now you see why I plead
For you
To stop using fossil fuels
They are bad for the environment
Yeah!!
