- My Day of Action
A goal I have for my project is to have a day of action that
gets young people active about global warming. It will not only
get them involved in being active but raising awareness and
teaching people what you can do. part of this goal will be going
to teacher conferences in the fall to give out lesson plans and
encourage teachers to have their students participate in my day
of action. I will do this to get teachers aware so they can
teach their students more effectively.
