Journey for the Planet Testimonials

"This program fills a void that needs filling. Standard environmental education curricula don't have a program like this that focuses on personal habits and actions, and relates it to what we can do for the planet. I was a little uncertain how parents would respond. What happened was that parents called and said what I was doing was wonderful. There was no negative feedback from any of 60 parents in the two classes."
-- Steve Price, 6th grade science teacher, Cape Elizabeth, ME


"Kids loved the program. They loved the sense of empowerment, that they had choices, that they were on their honor, and that they were in the drivers seat and had control. This was the best thing we did all year."
-- John Barron, 6th grade teacher, Sturbridge, MA


"Kids that NEVER do work, or ever bring anything back and forth between home and school, responded overwhelmingly and worked hard to achieve their Global Hero points."
-- Tracy Licata, 5th grade teacher, Gansevoort, NY


"The program was easy to use. The kids could do any of the Earth Actions in one sitting at home in an evening. And, they could see their progress and that they really made a difference."
-- Jan MacKenzie-Polanski, 4th grade teacher, Minneapolis, MN


"It is fun to do! I've learned a lot from these actions. I'm teaching my brother and my parents. We have made a big difference in one week."
-- Mary Chi, 5th grade, Minneapolis, MN


"What I liked best in this week's Journey was the way my family and I worked together to save the earth."
-- Christie Payette, 6th grade, Mt. Tremper, NY


"My favorite was writing to the Mayor because we got to tell him all the actions we did, and asked him to get everyone in the town to help our planet."
-- Laura Giancone, 5th grade, Ballston Spa, NY

Journey for the Planet Testimonials

"I learned a lot of different ways to help the environment. It wasn't hard at all. I will definitely continue to do Earth Actions such as wear a sweater to conserve energy. It's up to us to make a difference."
– Paul Drexhage, 6th grade, Sturbridge, MA


"The children's enthusiasm is fabulous and their desire to do more and more, beyond the original plan, is very satisfying. When two 4th grade students came in the garden and very proudly shared their "no-garbage lunches" with me, I knew this was a fantastic journey they were on indeed."
– Caprice Potter, 4th grade teacher, Santa Cruz, CA
