Worksheet: Goldilocks Tackles Climate Change,P2 Now, take another look at the “Goldilocks Tackles Climate Change” cartoon at the top of the page. Some tasks felt too big, some tasks felt too small, and some tasks felt just right. Look at the lists you made above. TOO BIG: Find a problem that you wish you could change right now, but you know it is “too big” to accomplish at this time. Envision yourself in the future, taking on this challenge when the time comes that it feels “just right.” TOO SMALL: Identify something that you are already doing to help the environment. You probably are doing more than you think. Do you throw your trash away? Do you recycle cans and bottles? Do you turn out the light when you leave the room? These are only three examples of small things you might already be doing. JUST RIGHT: Choose a task that you can start doing right now, today, that will help the environment. Like Goldilocks, be realistic and really think about what you can achieve; don’t go too small, but don’t go too big either. Now for the fun part! In the boxes provided, draw your own “Tackles Climate Change” cartoon. In the 昀椀rst box, draw what you Envision yourself doing one day to help the environment. In the second box, draw what you are already doing as a good global citizen, and in the third box, illustrate the new action that you are going to do now to tackle climate change. Too Big (For Now!) Too Small (But Helpful!) Just Right (for Today!) 20
