Taking Sustainability to the Next Level

There is nothing quite like a pandemic to make us all more aware of our personal sustainability practices, at least in regard to using up supplies that we are counting on tiding us over for a few weeks.

If you’re interested in taking this a little further, you may want to check out EcoRise. EcoRise is an online educational platform that is designed for children from pre-k through high school that incorporates full lesson plans and family-friendly activities to teach you and your family about sustainability. They offer plenty of free lessons and they cover topics ranging from Sustainable Intelligence to Biomimicry and Science as well as LEED Prep and the Business of Social Good.

A personal favorite is their personal water audits that record your daily water usage. Nice way to see if you have room to reduce your water consumption.

Each different lesson is geared towards a different age group, so there is something for everyone. Hope y’all enjoy it!
