The more I think and read about things we can do for our environment I become more hopeful. For those of us who are in the teaching profession we can do even more than others. Not only can we make changes in our personal lives and help our environment that way but we can also have a greater impact. We have the power to educate new generations. We can teach our students to form new habits that will help end the destruction of our environment. A place we can begin is by involving them in interesting science lessons that look into the impact we humans have on our planet. I began to read the California Educator magazine and came across teachers who are doing just that. They have shown me examples of how I can make a difference in my personal life and in the life of my students. This in turn will have a tremendous positive impact and help end the destruction of our planet.
