Description: Embedded video lesson on first slide! Then students answer 30 questions. This environmental earth science lesson discusses how to be a good steward of the environment, which refers to actions that aim to conserve, protect, and create a more sustainable environment. Environmental stewards conduct stewardship actions as a group or as individuals. There are three main types of environmental stewards: benefactors, doers, and practitioners. The lesson also covers the objectives of environmental stewardship, such as restoration of degraded ecosystems, environmental conservation, protection of endangered species, improving resource sustainability, and creating awareness. The lesson concludes with several strategies for becoming an environmental steward, including recycling, changing modes of transportation, choosing reusable bottles over plastic ones, participating in the zero-waste challenge, using energy-efficient appliances, and selecting locally-produced food.
