Description: Create a wish list bulletin board for the holidays. Make a Christmas tree background and create "ornaments" with Post- it® Notes. Each ornament can have something for the classroom, such as pencils, paper, kleenex, or books. Instead of giving me a gift, when students ask what I want for christmas, I suggest that they can get an ornament off the tree and get something to help the class.

Description: I've used this with children in 3rd grade all the way up to adults at Parent Association meetings held at the school. The most important principle of sustainable development is integrating environmental, social equity, and economic considerations ("planet, people and profits"). So when we have a decision to make as a class or a school, this is a way to bring sustainable development to life.
