50 Ideas in 50 Days: Preparing for the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

Today marks the beginning of the 50-day countdown to the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! To help you celebrate with your students or families, EarthDay.org has released some free environmental education resources . For example, you can check out their 50 Days to Earth Day Digital Toolkit or use some of their great posters or graphics for social media campaigns. In addition, you can register an Earth Day event.

Earth Day was created by concerned citizens who used entrepreneurial thinking and the power of persuasion to convince government and businesses to do something about the harmful effects of pollution. So, it's time to put on your entrepreneurial thinking caps and figure out how to make the world a better place! Also, don't forget to share anything you do by tagging us on social media @usfstavros (twitter, facebook, instagram) or emailing Deborah dkozdras@usf.edu. We are looking for some great ideas to share on this blog, so keep us posted with any activities you are doing in your schools. ​

Stay tuned for more fun as we share 49 more daily ideas in our countdown to the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! ​
