Climate Action Days > Lessons & Activities
The Climate Education Leadership Team developed lesson and activity ideas for your school to choose from. These are suggestions - you can follow them exactly, or take inspiration to modify them or make your own!
How to Use Roadmaps
How to Use Roadmaps
Choose a schoolwide action. This is a simple action that your whole school can participate in. To implement it, it's as simple as making morning announcements and emailing your colleagues to let them know!
Select a roadmap with lessons and activities to support your schoolwide action:
Choose based on the time-commitment required: Mild (1-2 hours), Medium (3-5 hours), or Spicy (5+ hours)
Then choose a type of activity: learning, project-based actions, or advocacy
Your roadmap gives you a breakdown of steps you can take to plan and implement climate action in your school. Remember, these lessons and activities all lead up to your schoolwide action on Climate Action Day!

Waste Collective action: Bring Your Own Reusable Water Bottle
Is your school ready to reduce single-use plastic? All schools can encourage students to “BYO Water Bottle” as part of their Climate Action Day.
We'll count how many single-use plastic bottles we reduced citywide! Plan to estimate how many students participate so we can add it to our grand total.
