Mother's Legacy adopts a school encouraging  environmental action and revitalizing the earth 

 

Environmental

Action

• These could include changes to social or human systems, natural systems, or the built environment. 

• Examples:

  • Protecting our environment from polluters

  • Saving bees (stopping the harmful uses of the pesticides that kill bees and promoting the planting of bee-friendly habitat)

  • Adopting pro-environmental behaviors, such as turning off water while brushing teeth, buying an electric vehicle, investing in a solar installation for their house, carpooling or biking to school or work

  • Community action

    • Mobilizing community involvement to an environmental issue of concern
