The Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) is offering its Environmental Education Resource Guides and other learning tools to K-12 classrooms.  A&WMA also announces its Second Annual High School Essay Contest, “Greenhouse Gas Management Actions: What Can Students Do?”  Each Environmental Education Resource Guide includes approximately 15 lessons with clearly stated educational objectives, background information, and activities. 

The series is designed to develop critical thinking skills, including observation, comparison, analysis, and problem-solving.  Lesson plans were written and field-tested by classroom teachers and the content has been extensively reviewed for technical accuracy by A&WMA members and other leading experts.  For more information, or to download free lesson plans or fact sheets from A&WMA’s Environmental Education Resource Guides, visit http://www.awma.org/go/environmentaleducation08.
