National Environmental Education Week

April 13–19, 2008

Now in its fourth year, National Environmental Education Week seeks to enhance the educational impact of Earth Day (April 22) and provide recognition to American educators who are committed to implementing environmental education in their classrooms.

This year, National Environmental Education Week (EE Week) focuses on a special Carbon Footprints theme.

As the nation's largest environmental education event, National EE Week, made possible by Canon, promotes understanding and protection of the natural world by actively engaging K-12th grade students and educators of all subjects in an inspired week of environmental learning and service before Earth Day. As partners in EE Week, educators have access to:

• Standards-based environmental education lessons and activities
  
  
• Monthly electronic newsletters that highlight the latest EE curricula, professional development, and funding opportunities
  
  
• Opportunities for online communication and knowledge-sharing with educators from across the country

If you work with students in a school, nature center, zoo, museum, aquarium, or other educational setting, you can join EE Week's efforts and gain national recognition for your work.

Since April 22, 1970, Earth Day has been an annual event for people around the world to celebrate the earth and renew our commitment to building a safer, healthier, and cleaner world for all of us.
