Imagine walking miles to get clean drinking water, or losing all of your crops to a drought without access to electricity. How would you respond? In this class, we’ll explore these and other challenges and discover ways to take action. From using scraps to build a windmill to turning plastic waste into useful products, we’ll dive into the importance of recycling, reusing, and reducing both locally and globally. Through hands-on activities, teamwork, and creative problem-solving, you’ll design a solution to an upcycling challenge, create a public service announcement (PSA) to inspire change, and more. Get ready to take action for a more sustainable world!
