Environmental Justice is the principle of moral rightness concerning the ecological impact of the environment. Today's society has many environmental issues such as air quality, energy, health, global warming, preservation of clean water, and waste. These are all relevant and reoccurring problems in our society. In order to help keep a clean and healthy environment people must first learn about the environment in which they live. .
Educating people is one of the best ways to start saving our environment. On Friday November 21, 2003 we went to educate a class of third graders at Our Lady of Angels Catholic School in Burlingame. We started our presentation by teaching them about the "Web of Life". The "Web of Life" is when one part of the earth suffers, the entire earth suffers. The students understood that because of our bad habits we could potentially be ruining our earth. To help them understand how to help the environment we did two activities. The first activity was planting flowers, which was a symbol of land. Planting flowers gave the students an opportunity to restore natural land which has been destroyed by the development of buildings. After the first activity we talked with the students about recycling and waste products. They already knew the principle points of recycling: recycle, reduce, and reuse. In our activity the students were given various objects which were to be thrown away in the garbage or recycled. This activity helped the students to differentiate between materials that are recyclable and disposable. After teaching the class about the environment we asked if they had learned anything. Almost every hand went up to share with the class what they learned. The most common response was that they learned about the triangle symbol on recyclable products. .
Presenting on environmental issues was not just educational for the third graders, but for us as well. We also learned more about the environments and what we can do to help keep it clean and healthy.
