Native Land and Practices Acknowledgement
Native Land Acknowledgement means to learn about, talk about, and show respect for the Native inhabitants of an area of land. We do this for many reasons: to correct history, protect and preserve the culture and identity of native peoples, acknowledge the role of European colonization in the loss of native lives and lands. For this activity, read about the Lenape. The tribe indigenous to Brooklyn, Queens , and Manhattan. Who are they, what was NYC like before colonization? How can we honor the Lenape today? (links below)

Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Climate Change and Wildfires: How is climate change affecting you? Our hometown? And what can we do now?
First, the article about the CA wildfires and climate change. Climate Change In Your Hometown The featured article discusses the connection between climate change and California wildfires. Another Times article, from 2018, lets you track how the number of days when temperatures hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) or higher changes in your hometown over your lifetime. As you look at the graph created based on your hometown and the year you were born, what do you notice? (If you want, try entering the birth year of your parents or grandparents as well.) Then, scroll to see the climate predictions for your hometown when you are 80 years old. Continue to scroll to learn more about these predictions, and then see how your hometown compares to other parts of the country and the world using the interactive globe.

Become a certified Climate Ambassador!
The Climate Museum in NYC is working with local teens to form a Climate Volunteer Coalition! The first step is to educate yourself on the main talking points around climate change. Next, share your knowledge! To help you do this, the Climate Museum has produced a pocket-sized "Climate Ambassador" card. Read the instructions, print the card, cut/fold, and start talking to the people! If you don't have a printer--make your own! https://climatemuseum.org/ambassador **With parent permission** You can also sign up on the Climate Museum website for more info. You can even post a reflection that the Museum will publish on their website for all to see!

Reflection QuestionElectricity Carbon Footprint CalculatorWhat can you do to either lower your carbon footprint OR "offset your carbon footprint. When you "offset" you basically pay it forward---you do something kind for the environment or another person to balance out your carbon use if you can't reduce it.

Reflection QuestionAction Track: Healing & Renewal Climate Change ActionWhat's one thing you can do in your daily life to slow down and appreciate our world--the people and the planet? How can you concentrate on doing more "good" instead of competing for "the best"? How has competing to be the best contributed to human impact on the environment?
Bryce Fearnley 12/02/2020 6:01 AMOne thing I can do in my daily life to slow down and appreciate our world, the people and the planet is to become someone thankful for everything and someone who uses every last bit of something before throwing it away. The way you can concentrate on doing more "good" instead of competing for "the best" is to share and be grateful for the things mother nature gives you. Competing to be the best is contributed to the human impact on the environment because then things would be different, but if the thing that they were competing about was good then the change to the Earth would be positive. -
Reflection QuestionFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Eliminating food waste during Thanksgiving (or other big meals!)What is one method of food waste reduction (or food saving!) Priya and Dominique talk about in the video What is one thing you can do this Thanksgiving weekend to cut down on food waste (and other types of waste!)
Bryce Fearnley 11/25/2020 6:08 AMOne method of food waste reduction is to buy bulk so there will be more food in the container and less waste. One thing I will do this thanksgiving is sprinkle homemade compost on plants to help them grow stronger. -
