The Sustainability Challenge

We have been talking about The Sustainability Challenge in library this week with several grades. Sustainability and Renewable are big words.  But WEF is sponsoring a STEM Expo on Saturday, April 8th and they have issued The Sustainability Challenge to all students living or going to school in Wellesley.

I've been reading this great book called, Green City: How One Community Survived a Tornado and Rebuilt for a Sustainable Future. Thank you to the Caiazzo Family for donating this book to the library.

This book is all about one small town in Kansas that was wiped out by a tornado and decided to rebuild as a green city.  This true story is a great way to talk about what "going green" and "renewable energy" is all about.

Here is a link to Greensburg, Kansas website with more information about the Greenest Town in America.

Students interested in creating something for the Sustainability Challenge can drop it off in the box in the Sprague Library by March 24th.
