Human-created emissions and pollution, impacts all species. The “Take-Make-Waste” economy is at a tipping point. We are depleting resources faster than they are replenished. We need to advocate for “net zero” living through community engagement. We need skills, innovative thinking and job training to prepare the workforce for a circular economy. We need to develop stewardship to interact with the planet responsibly and conserve resources.

We have exciting news about a Green Ambassador education program that One Earth One Chance (OEOC) is driving, in partnership with several cities in the DFW metroplex. This will address the need for environmental sustainability education in the community. The curriculum raises awareness about sustainable living and choices that make a difference, as an individual or organization.

The lessons will be delivered using a hybrid model via in-person sessions with interactive exercises (recordings will be made available), as well as a self-paced online learning platform. The educators will be experts from universities and other environmental nonprofits and can get professional development hours for their efforts. The content was developed in partnership with UT Dallas.

Participants need to pass quizzes for all 12 modules to receive a green ambassador certificate which they can display in their social media. They can also join events, e.g., litter cleanups, install/giveaway native trees/plants, growing seedlings etc. High schools can participate, compete for annual awards based on the number of events and number of certificates completed and receive NJHS/ NHS hours for their time.
