What if I don't have any teaching materials prepared on solutions to climate change?
Ask the class to talk about solutions that they already know about and moderate the discussion. Assign a report on climate change and discuss it. There are also resources available on the Web to assist:
- Climate Change Education
- Climate Ark
- Union of Concerned Scientists
- National Wildlife Federation
- Global Warming Challenge
- American Solar Energy Society
- ClimateCorps.org
- ClimateClassroom
- Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI)
