Earth Day (week) Tours at Urban Impact
Four tours done and six to go (I have two a day all week). So far so good. I find when I am “touring” it sometimes takes me one tour to get into the groove again and engage with the kids fully.
Urban Impact is paying for all the classes to be bused into the facilities (Richmond M-W, New Westmisnter Th & Fr). This year we have also raised the stakes of the tours, we are offering a $500 prize for the class that provides us with the 5 ways in which they as a class can reduce waste and 5 ways in which they can personally reduce waste. In addition to the grand prize we give away prizes for the 3 best questions (each tour) and a cool non battery flashlight (curtesy of Science World) for the best science question asked. It certainly seems to motivate the questions.
I enjoy the tours, often the questions inspire some blog topics. In addition the energy and interest of the kids is envigorating and a challenge for me! Keeps me on my toes.
Here are a couple of the good questions:
- Does recycling reduce the power we consume?
- What does Urban Impact do reduce power consumption?
- What does Urban Impact do to achieve zero waste?
- Is it more important to reduce or recycle?
- Why did you start Urban Impact?
Fun questions to answer!
