One of the most effective methods of encouraging student interest Photo: Middle school student studies the traffic patterns of her community.in environmental issues is through participation in student projects that focus on their immediate surroundings. Involving middle school students in environmental efforts that directly impact their school or community is empowering, especially if they have had input into selecting and developing the project. Students not only become part of the solution to an environmental problem; they develop problem-solving skills in a variety of arenas. Throughout the process, students gain confidence and recognize that their ideas and actions are important and make a difference in improving the quality of life.
  There are many examples of youthPhoto: Greg & the Enviro-Tacklebox ™ Kids activism in environmental education involving issues focusing on the use of water and water quality, pesticide and chemical use at home and in the surrounding community, energy conservation, biodiversity and the effects of non-native plants and animals, habitat loss, waste reduction, etc.. Requesting information and assistance from local volunteer associations, governmental agencies, the Nature Conservancy and other environmental and service organizations will provide many project selections from which students can choose to become actively involved.
