Earth Day! It’s a great time to learn about the earth, reflect on how our actions affect the environment, make a difference, and inspire others to take action as well.\u00a0According to the Earth Day Network, planting trees is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of Carbon Dioxide\u00a0produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles and provides enough oxygen for 18 people.<\/p>\n
Your students can program a fun game where you\u00a0plant trees to\u00a0lower the CO2\u00a0levels in the\u00a0atmosphere. Students\u00a0can send their games to friends and family to remind them to make a positive impact on the planet\u00a0this Earth Day.<\/p>\n
To program the game, students follow easy step-by-step instructions. Encourage them to draw their own trees and make the earth day game their own. Students can research ways to live more sustainably and even choose their own themes for their game, like recycling, using alternative transportation, reducing the amount of meat you eat, or conserving energy.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to go outside when you’re done to\u00a0plant some real trees and celebrate the bountiful planet we live on!<\/p>\n
