CA Air Resources Contest!

The Climate Generation program is integrated into California’s Education and the Environment Initiative, a new K-12 curriculum focusing on science, history and sociology. The state legislature adopted the initiative in 2003 to instill in students the understanding that California’s economic prosperity, public health and environmental future depend on the condition of the earth’s ecosystem. This mandated the creation of a standards-based curriculum that integrates environmental education, including climate change.

California high school classrooms, environmental clubs, and other student groups are eligible to participate in the 2011-2012 Climate Generation Program.  The classroom projects must benefit the school or community and relate to one or more of the following topic areas:

• Energy Conservation;
• Renewable Energy;
• Water Conservation;
• Transportation;
• School Operations; and/or,
• Awareness/Communication (Outreach).

Classrooms and student groups must register and submit a project report.  Registration is open until February 3, 2012.  Project reports are due April 2, 2012.
