Galster- notes on new lteracy project

According to the campaign for Environmental Literacy, "Environmental literacy is the capacity of an individual to act successfully in daily life on a broad understanding of how people and societies relate to each other and natural systems, and how they might do so sustainably. This requires sufficient awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitudes in order to incorporate appropriate environmental considerations into daily decisions about consumption, lifestyle, career, and civics, and to engage in individual and collective actions. " I totally agree with this statement and sadly feel that we are not teaching our students how to live sustainably.
I am working with Rose and Gabe to make a prezi on Environmental Literacy. Since the world's population is growing exponentially, we are depleting our clean usable water supply faster than it can replenish it naturally. Additionally, we are polluting the land, air, and water, which ultimately ends up in the water cycle. Experts predict that by the year 2050, over 4 billion people will be without enough clean water. This is the scary truth, and if we do not teach our children the importance and severity of conserving our water and keeping it clean, the Earth will not be able to continue to sustain life as we know it much longer.
Environmental Literacy is so broad, we decided to focus in on water in Environmental Literacy. Furthermore, water is a very expansive topic and encompasses so many different things. Because of this, we decided to highlight topics in water such as: usage, supply and source, and conservation. To make sure we can cover as much information as we can on these topics, we have decided to divide the topics amongst each other. I will be mainly researching the conservation of water and the importance of conservation. Among other things, I will give a list of possible ways of conserving water.
I have never worked with prezi before, but I have seen a presentation on it in the past and really enjoyed it. We will be making this prezi for both our peers and future students. Because of this it will be colorful and informational, but not too much scientific research. I have had a l ittle trouble making a new presentation, but with time and patience, it will continue to get easier to navigate.
