Summary: Our first strategy to explore is through the service route of learning about Ecojustice. The idea is very simple: Allowing students and kids to use service as a way to become much more appreciative and protective of the enviroment is extermely important to keeping that message alive and well. What the program would do, called the Ecojustice Summer Youth Employment Program, was at first start with a learning section about the enviroment and then transition into actual service with the local Albany, New York Enviroment. This strategy of using learning as a way to introduce the reasons as to why the service of the enviroment is necessary, and then transitioning to service to put those ideas into practice leaves an extensive impact on the person. It would make the lessons that they learn truly stick with them throughout their time in the program and beyond.

Adoption of Strategy: I think the use of service in learning is something that can really help a person understand more about a topic they are learning about and using ecojustice larning as a teacher is a great way to advance that learning. As a history teacher, while we learn about the history of the socieites and events on the earth, learning about the actual history of the earth is extremely important. So, similarly to how the orginization conveys and practices the use of the importance of the enviroment, I want to do the same in my class to teach the importance and the history of the earth. Putting in service to cleaning up a historical park for instance and making it look nice is a great situation that can be used to show how the enviroment and history can connect.

Summary: Service and helping communities in need is a very important part of supporting ecojustice, but this strategy is the one that is the easiest to access for everyone. Simply, the strategy of promoting ecojustice in your own community is something that is absoutlely vital to the start of an individual's journey in becoming a better fighter for ecojustice. Seeing what practices happen in your community and being able to either help the one's that support ecojustice or go against the one's that do not is apart of educating yourself in what is good or not for the natural commons of your enviroment. Being able to promote ecojustice in a community is a great way to start learning about ecojustice and how it can extremely beneficial to society.

Adoption Strategy: The idea of using the local community as a way to support ecojustice education is such a simple and great way to convey the message of ecojustice while also learning about the history of the town. When learning about the town that the students are in they can already feel a connection to it and want to learn more about its history and how the environment in the town has changed over time. Looking at how the ecosystem has changed, with how buildings were put in, forest's were cut down, or mine's were once alive would be a really interesting topic for the students to look at and understand. Taking students to local museums as well as the local parks in the area to see how different places have been around for a long time and how they have evolved is also a big part of my adoption strategy.

Summary: The article talks about how it is important to know that citizens of the United States are properly educated in ecojustice so that they cna understand what is good and bad about how the enviroment is being handled. The strategy here would be to lead an expedition of trip to a place where students are able to really understand and learn about ecojustice not only in the area that is being visited but also about how ecojustice in that area can be applied everywhere else. The strategy is so that the students are able to be really diversified in their knowing of ecojustice as well as it is very important one kids move on to adulthood to understand the different perspectives of other people.

Adoption Strategy: The adoption strategy in a history class would be that a trip to a certain park or musuem that is oriented around ecojustice would be a really good solution for being able to have a resource to teach students that may be more interesting than anything that is in a class. Intead of using a screen or whiteboard being able to have kids see what they are learning about and interact with their enviroment is the primary source that is needed. It could be a historical park that is about perserving the natural beauty of the land or a musueum about an ecological movmement. Either or, it would provide an experience that would allow for student to really get a different learning experience about ecojustice than they would in a classroom.
