Featured GreenLearning Activity of the Month

Civics Topics for eCards

eCards now offers two more topic resource centres for students: Environmental Citizenship and Wolfe Island: Green Realities. They directly meet curriculum expectations in Grade 10 Civics and have many other applications as well, especially to high school Science, Geography, and Language Arts.

• Environmental Citizenship explores the process of becoming an active citizen, from getting informed to navigating the political system to taking action. The unit examines several strategies for creating change and concludes with an Environmental Citizen Action Checklist.
• Wolfe Island: Green Realities offers a case study of one green reality: the 2009 installation of a large wind farm on Wolfe Island in Ontario. Students look at the process and politics by which a small island became home to 86 large wind turbines.
