An Invitation To: The Educators of the learners of planet Earth From: The Carbon Almanac Education Team We are in a relay race. It is a race to stop or reverse the impact of human changes on our planet’s climate. We the Education Team of The Carbon Almanac hope you have found the activities useful in helping your learners understand what is happening to our world. Our team was composed of educators, instructional designers, parents, curriculum developers and experts in many 昀椀elds and from many countries. This means there is experience behind these activities, but no 昀椀eld testing because we did not have the time to do so. Production timeline constraints of this companion volume also limited our ability to prepare an activity for each article. That is where you come in. By sharing this guide with you, we are handing the baton o昀昀 to you. We have included a blank form and some instructions to help you construct more activities. We would love to hear from you as you use and improve upon these lesson plans, and create new ones. As you engage with us and these activities, you are joining a network of committed climate warriors. By sharing your work with others, you and your learners are passing the baton and bringing us all closer to net zero. To share back with us the lessons you create, use the template we are providing here (make a copy of the template to edit and create your lesson plan ) and upload it here. We will be pulling the best activities from the submissions to be included in future editions of the Educators’ Guide and featured on The Carbon Almanac website. With the utmost respect and gratitude, Your Partners of The Carbon Almanac Education Team 60
