Climate Change is Elementary

08/27/2026

Climate Change is Elementary was a program for K-8 schools that I presented from 2007 through 2015 in the Northeastern US. But when I came home to Florida I discovered that I could not present any program with "Climate Change" in the title here in my home state so I've now created Green Actioneers® a program for K-8 schools. Here is our first school that would let us shoot video of the entire program.

If you would like to start a program in your local schools you can do it yourself. It will be explained in detail on our Green Actioneers® website that is under construction and on our page at https://www.facebook.com/greenactioneers/. Start prepping your local school for the event by showing this video to parent leaders and academic leaders too.

I was privileged to serve as the chauffeur driving my friend, Spencer Jourdain, to St. Pete where he got to reminisce with Jane Goodall about their mutual time in Africa when she was discovering her love for chimpanzees and he was helping Harvard test out a concept that became the Peace Corps. Also in the photo is Carole Colvin, who works with Spencer to develop and market Cafe Solar, solar-dried sustainable coffee that helps reduce deforestation.

Why we need the Green Actioneers program in schools everywhere ASAP. We can create a clean and green future without scaring kids and parents, but it is good to know the truth about what is coming.

Intensifying extreme weather events and an insurance crisis are likely to cause significant economic and political disruption in the U.S. sometime in the next 15 years.

I need to build a "launch team" locally for my important book. Do any readers have some energy to contribute to the Green Actioneers school program that is designed to help elementary or K-8 students everywhere (including Florida) to "Go Green" without broaching the controversial climate change issue? I need to find our first school anywhere in the USA brave enough to adopt the full program.

I've spoken and exhibited about our program at PTA conventions around the country and have a list of about 1,000 prospects, but need help to approach them and get buy-in. I'll travel anywhere in the US to help a school that wants to be known as "The school where it started." Wouldn't it be great if it were nearby. See my interview with Jack Canfield for some details.

Jack Canfield interviewed me about Green Actioneers Family Action Guide and our plans to create "Scouting for the 21st Century."

I returned home to Celebration, FL from the 2024 California PTA convention where I got another 50+ schools interested in our Green Actioneers Movement designed for families in K-6, K-8 or K-12 schools Then I went to the Green Schools conference in Maryland and got interest from 21 schools.

It is too bad that here in Florida I have been unable to start a pilot program, but I'm willing to go anywhere to get our first schools that agree to implement the entire program and will be proud to be known as "One of the schools where it started." The program is free to the school and every family in the school gets a free digital copy of the 246-page bilingual (English/Spanish) Green Actioneers Family Action Guide at Green Actioneers Family Night.

Although we got video permission slips signed by every family in both of the Florida schools where we presented last year, at the last minute we were stopped from making a video of the program, and neither school put up the chart on the wall where families could post "sticky notes" telling others what actions they have taken.

Below is how our artist, Jim Haynes, depicts what the chart on the wall would look like either in an individual classroom or in the hallway. The idea is to use it like a "merit badge sash" to motivate kids to urge their parents to take additional actions.

If anyone would like more information please let me know here or txt or call me at 770-329-1152 or e-mail [email protected].

https://youtu.be/9riq-e7PEmw. No matter where you are I'll come to your school for free in early Fall 2024 to introduce the Green Actioneers program and we'll give a free digital copy of the 246-page Green Actioneers Family Action Guide to every family at Family Night. The only requirements are that you'll implement the program as it is designed, that you'll let me video the entire program, and that your school will be proud to let everyone know that you are among the very first schools.

Your school is invited to be among the first to introduce the Green Actioneers program, "Scouting for the 21st Century." There is no cost for this program. ...

Here is the YouTube version of the plan to spread the Green Actioneers program to every elementary or K-8 school in the US and elsewhere as well. If you know anyone who would be interested in helping either to fund or to implement the program, please let me know.
