Don't just watch & learn.... SPEAK & LISTEN!
Introduction
According to Pachamama Alliance, " environmental awareness is to understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection. Promoting environmental awareness is an easy way to become an environmental steward and participate in creating a brighter future for our children."
During this web quest, you are going to become an advocate, an ambassador for our environment. Your objective is to promote environmental awareness through various information gathering activities (viewing & listening) and dynamic presentations (speaking) to motivate others to participate.
Many people assume that by recycling paper and taking shorter showers, they are complying with their share of prevention. However, through this web quest, you will be sharing your knowledge with schoolmates, teachers, staff and parents in order to make them aware of all the steps they can take to contribute to this global cause.

A 10-year old's vision for healing the planet | Genesis Butler
Description: 10-year old animal rights activist Genesis Butler explores the correlation between the environment and animal consumption. Through unsettling facts and humor, Genesis provides insight on how a simple choice can mean the difference between destroying or saving our planet. Genesis Butler is a 10 year old animal rights activist and ethical vegan. Genesis has earned numerous awards for her activism including Animal Hero Kids' Sir Paul McCartney Young Veg Advocate award, Vegan Kid of the Year award from Vegans Are Cool, and PETA's Kid of the Year Award. She also worked with Farm Sanctuary to get Meatless Mondays passed. She is featured in Vegan: Everyday Stories, a documentary about the lives of everyday vegans and is starting her own non-profit foundation called Genesis for Animals where she will provide funding to people who rescue animals. Although she is active in the animal rights movement, she is still able to be a kid and loves playing football, singing, dancing, sewing, drawing, and spending time with her friends. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
