The children in GPS Kulsumpura school designed a plantation activity to address the decreasing number of plants. They discussed how cutting down trees and pollution from vehicles affects the environment. The children collected plants from their community and convinced community members of the importance of planting trees. They then held a rally and planted trees at their school. The community members agreed to plant more trees in their homes and only cut trees if replacing them, making the children happy about the environmental change.
Grades k 2 - have you ever seen a red tree
Coast redwoods are the tallest trees in the world, capable of reaching heights over 320 feet. They grow very quickly due to abundant rainfall and fog along the California coast. Coast redwoods form complex forest communities where many plants and animals depend on each other and the trees for survival. In the past, many redwoods were cut down without protection, but today conservation efforts aim to preserve the remaining redwood forests.

Calder positive solutionswithpermaculture_2013
Graham Calder spoke about permaculture design principles and techniques for sustainable water and food systems. Permaculture is based on observing natural systems and integrating successful practices. It has three ethics: care for the earth, fair share, and care for people. Graham discussed using swales, mulch, and catchment ponds to make water more accessible on farms. He also recommended no-dig gardens, fruit tree guilds, and hugelkultur mounds to create productive, self-sustaining food systems.
Importance of trees
Trees are important as they provide habitat for birds, food like nuts and fruits, help clean the air, water and soil, save energy, give us products like paper and wood, prevent soil erosion, beautify the world, provide medicines, shade and produce oxygen for us to breathe. Cutting down trees has disadvantages by removing these important benefits.
What to know about sustainable packaging

They met with school teachers and community members to explain the importance of natural resources like air, water, earth, fire, and sky. The children then went around the streets explaining to people the importance of these resources and encouraging them to avoid cutting trees, wasting or polluting water, using plastic bags, and causing air or ozone layer pollution. They shared their message with other local children and started a rally to further explain the importance of natural resources like water and air as well as their message about protecting the environment.
Sustainable management
This document discusses sustainable management of natural resources in India. It covers managing water resources through dams and water harvesting, managing forests by involving local communities, and managing fossil fuels like coal and petroleum. The key points are:
- Natural resources like water, forests, and fossil fuels need to be managed sustainably to ensure equitable access for current and future generations.
- For water management, dams provide irrigation but displace people, while water harvesting recharges groundwater without social or environmental costs.
- For forests, involving local communities like the Bishnois in conservation and giving them benefits from forests helps revive degraded lands.
- Coal and petroleum are important energy sources but burning them releases pollutants
Positive Solutions with Permaculture with Graham Calder
Graham Calder spoke at a permaculture workshop about using permaculture design principles to address challenges through caring for the earth, people, and ensuring a fair share for all. He discussed how observing natural systems can guide practices like using swales and mulch to better manage water accessibility. Permaculture emphasizes creating diverse, multilayered systems like food forests that mimic forest structures to efficiently provide for needs. Questions addressed building earthship structures and dynamic accumulator plants that uptake nutrients to fertilize soils.

Nolan's Presentation on Trees
Trees provide many useful products for people such as nuts, fruits, spices, wood for building materials and burning for heat and energy, and paper for writing. Trees are renewable resources if new ones are planted to replace those that are cut down, and people can help sustain forests by recycling paper and reusing or rebuilding with wood instead of throwing it away.
Grades 3 5 - have you ever seen a real-life giant
The document summarizes various adaptations that allow coast redwood trees to grow extremely tall (over 320 feet) and live for over 2,000 years. It explains that their thick bark provides protection from fires and insects, their leaves can absorb water from fog, and they sprout new trunks if the top is burned. It also notes that coast redwoods only grow naturally in a small region of northern California where environmental conditions like summer fog and nutrient-rich soil allow them to thrive.
Stop Sucking
Plastic straws are not biodegradable and often end up in landfills and oceans, where they break down into microplastics that are consumed by marine animals. Banning plastic straws would reduce oil and electricity use, save millions of marine animals from plastic consumption each year, and decrease microplastics in drinking water.

Anthropology and Education
Anthropology is the study of humans and human behavior across different cultures. It integrates the study of communication, economics, politics, religion, and other aspects of human societies. While anthropology originated in the Renaissance, key figures like Morgan, Tylor, and Boas advanced the field in the 19th-20th centuries by emphasizing cross-cultural comparisons and fieldwork. Anthropology is closely related to sociology and psychology as they both study human behavior and social organization. The document then discusses aspects of Philippine culture like languages, arts, mythology, social structures, and property systems. It notes how understanding a culture's history can provide insights into implications for education and directing the future.
Anthropological foundation
Anthropology is the study of human civilizations, cultures, and societies. It examines how cultures are perpetuated over time and contributes to understanding human beings. Anthropology is a broad field that includes the study of human evolution, linguistics, ethnology, and more. Its goal is to learn about past and present humans by investigating physical and cultural development as well as social and environmental influences.
Case study and Ethnography
This document discusses case studies and ethnography as qualitative research methods. It provides details on what each method involves such as data collection techniques, characteristics, strengths, and limitations. A key difference noted is that ethnography requires participant observation and aims to understand a culture from the insider's perspective, while case studies take a more outward looking approach to deeply analyze a specific real-world instance or phenomenon in its context. Both methods are in-depth, interpretive approaches but ethnography typically requires longer-term fieldwork.

protect the envrionment from the pollution
Reducing waste, conserving water and energy, supporting conservation organizations, and maintaining green spaces are some of the key ways individuals can contribute to protecting nature. Reducing consumption and reusing materials can minimize waste, while recycling helps reduce landfill waste. Conserving water at home through leak fixes and efficient appliances, as well as being mindful of usage, is important especially in water-scarce areas. Using energy-efficient appliances and bulbs, and turning off unused lights and devices, can lower carbon footprints, as can utilizing renewable energy if available. Volunteering or donating to conservation groups supports protecting habitats and wildlife, while civic engagement and advocacy can promote conservation policies. Planting trees and maintaining parks and other green spaces
