ONE WITH NATURE PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this project, students empathize with nature and build appreciation for the plants and animals that call our planet home. They learn about animal behaviors and explore how plastic pollution affects their survival. Students become changemakers by investigating their use of single-use plastic, committing to a change, and inviting others to join their efforts in a PSA.
