What have you done for the Earth lately?
By Barbara Little, Role Models Foundation Environmental Consultant

Look around your town and you will see trash littering the roads and waterways.  Gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs are roaming the streets.  In rural communities people are burning trash releasing toxic gases into our atmosphere.  Where does it all end?  Isn’t it about time we do something to better our world?

Florida Governor Charlie Crist is asking just these questions.  In Miami Governor Crist brought together experts and lawmakers to address issues facing Florida and its need to change policies in regards to the environment.  Serve To Preserve: A Florida Summit on Global Climate Change was held on July 12-13, 2007.  Guest speakers included California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Theodore Roosevelt IV, Robert Kennedy Jr., Vinod Khosla, Dr. John Ashton, Matthias Machnig and other leaders, scientists and professionals. You can view video archives of many of the speakers at http://www.myfloridaclimate.com. more >>

What is an Environmental Steward?
Environmental stewards are high school students who consider the welfare of the environment in their everyday actions. They try to make changes that will help the environment through their actions and involvement in activities and organizations. They also attempt to teach members of their community and future generations what they have learned in order to effect change on a larger scale.
