Business - Kids join fight vs climate change - INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The battle against global warming and climate change should not be fought by adults alone.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines, a nongovernment organization involved in environmental concerns, believes that it is crucial to “train a new generation of climate warriors” if the government really wants to effect lasting solutions to environmental issues.
It was for this reason that WWF and HSBC launched back in 2008 their Project EcoKids, which stands for “environmentally-conscious kids.”
Three years and 15,000 students later, Project EcoKids can be considered the country’s single most effective program in teaching children in some 50 schools nationwide about climate change causes and solutions, according to WWF.
...
Project EcoKids is fully endorsed by the Department of Education, and plans are underway to fuse climate modules with the regular school curriculum.
Grade 3 pupils were identified as the best group to train as science-oriented subjects are introduced at this stage.
By starting them young, these students will hopefully form environment-friendly habits and consequently live environmentally-conscious lifestyles, WWF says.

That is truly sad! My wife is a third grade educator and wishes there was some graded ciriculum material available to help teachers who don't buy into the lies and distortions of AGW alarmists. Who can help provide something credible and for the young and vulnerable.
I'd be glad to publicise any such material on my climatelessons.blogspot.
But how many teachers would have the freedom to use it?
