Create Memes and Inspirational PSAs
Sample PSA Scripts:
Create a PSA about recycling. Use some of the documents on this site to find facts and then create a public service announcement. Ideally, the PSA should be less than one minute. Here are sample PSAs:
Save a Tree With Three! (15 seconds)
Did you know that recycling a single three-foot stack of newspapers saves a tree? Now, imagine the forests we could save together. Learn more green tips at (SustainabilitySuperheroes.org). This is a public service announcement from (Team Name).
Get Your Green On (:30-1:00)
Have you done something green yet today? If not, it’s time to get your green on. Recycle your trash. (Add more ideas here).
Final sentence (Every day, we have the chance to make our planet a cleaner and greener place. Act locally and change the world by getting your green on!) Learn more at (SustainabilitySuperheroes.org). This is a public service message from (Team Name).
- You can use PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides and save slide as a .jpg.
- You can use the ChatterPix App for Android or Apple to make your own talking memes!
- Use a meme generator like Imgflip.com (beware of adult content), find another meme/quote generator or download the google docs Sustainability Superhero Meme Generator as an alternative (download one for each student).
