EarthDay idea: Planetfesto.org--educators discuss experience/hints

A collaborative, international art project to build a virtual ribbon around the world. The ribbon is made up of 6" pieces with a photo or drawing of why you love the earth, a statement of love, and pledges of personal action. We want to plant the subversive thought: do we need a new relationship with the planet? Contributions from 54 countries and 8,000 individuals--many from kids and classes. Takes about 2 minutes, and the site is loaded with ideas, photos students can use, and lesson plans. Come add your thoughts and pledges to the ribbon.

Ideas and experiences from teachers who have successfully integrated the project in their classrooms:
