As climate change impacts increase, a few schools across the country are motivating their students to learn by engaging them outside classroom walls in real world experiences trying to solve environmental problems in their own communities. Growing Up Green, a documentary film by Bob Gliner (One Carbon Footprint At A Time, Schools That Change Communities, We’re Still Here) tells the story of a unique environmental education initiative in Michigan, where a statewide effort involving thousands of students in both rural and urban areas, is having a profound impact on both the environments students inhabit, as well as student educational outcomes across a broad range of disciplines – a model other states might find well worth emulating.
