Starting in April Marion Square will start hosting free movies on Friday evenings sponsored by Charleston City paper. Although viewing the movie is free they do ask for a $1 donation that will benefit the local non-profit organization of the week. Coastal Conservation League (an organization established in 1989 that works with local Charleston businesses, citizens, groups and schools to protect coastal South Carolina) is sponsoring a “My Day: Charleston” film contest. The details below are from the facebook event page:
“My Day: Charleston”
The Challenge: Show us how you spend a day in Charleston- celebrating the earth.
Do you love the beach? The marsh? The beautiful parks all over the city? The West Ashley Greenway? There is a lot of beauty here in Charleston and we want to see how you spend your time, taking care of, exploring, and loving our piece of earth in this historic city.This contest is open to any individuals, families, businesses or organizations who want to show what Charleston is all about on Earth Day!

Earth Day was first established on April 22, 1970 in the Unites States by Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator. It offered activists an opportunity to express their concern for environmental and sustainability issues and incentives. In 1990 the day became a worldwide happening and now over 192 countries partake in Earth Day events.
Would this be a project that our class would like to become involved in? Any ideas of how we, as a class, would spend our day in Charleston celebrating the Earth?

I agree- this would be fun to do as a class!
ReplyDeleteWe have already talked about taking a field trip to a farm or to Dixie. Maybe we should take several? Tape the trips and share it? We could also get some farm work done while we document the experience:)
The deadline is creeping up. Can we put something together in the next week?
