Yan Zhu recently completed her dissertation research under the guidance of Dr. Tom Marcinkowski at Florida Institute of Technology. As the first broad assessment of environmental literacy among undergraduate students at two national universities in China, she developed and validated the Undergraduate Students Environmental Literacy Instrument (USELI) based on reviews of environmental literacy frameworks and previous assessments outside China, prior work on the NEP scale by Dunlap et al. (2000), results of pilot studies, reliability and factor analyses, and a validity panel review. The USELI can be used in future assessments of EL within Chinese populations, and this will allow comparisons across studies of this kind. Furthermore, findings from this study and from future studies can provide a research base for developing an EL framework in accordance with political, socio-economic, and ecological conditions in China. Subsequent studies for replicating and extending this research are planned in the future with the goal of conducting a national environmental literacy assessment among various populations in China (e.g., K−12 students, university students, teachers, and other adult populations). Improvements also are planned to develop age-appropriate instruments with a wider range of EL variables in future assessments of Chinese citizens.

Green Energy Awareness Campaign

Ahsan Habib Shuvo

A green energy awareness campaign is an effort to educate and inform people about renewable energy sources and reducing their carbon footprint. Steps to start a campaign include identifying a target audience, developing a clear message, utilizing different communication channels, organizing events, collaborating with stakeholders, and measuring the impact. The goal of the campaign is to encourage people to adopt sustainable practices and create a more sustainable future.

Grow and Eat a Rainbow 11 x 8.5 and 11 x 7 inch garden signs by Mary Van Dyke

Mary Van Dyke

This is a series of Vegetable Garden signs with the theme of Grow and Eat a Rainbow designed by Mary Van Dyke. The rainbow of colors refer to the plant families - and help plant your garden and rotate crops successfully. The signs include a key color guide to the plant families, and details of crop rotation and use of cover crops. Signs describe a few crops, and techniques for growing tomatoes and beans at home, school or a community garden. Print these signs on 11 x 8.5 inch Terraslate 7mm polyester water-resistant 'paper' with UV coating, trim to size and place in metal sign holders 11 x 7 inch - or hole-punch and hang on a fence. These garden signs go with another longer series of 7 x 5 inch inch vegetable garden plant labels (also uploaded to slideshare).
