I long ago stopped believing that most corporations and politicians had the good of the public in mind. We need independent groups like Food & Water Watch to raise awareness and advocate for ethical, environmentally positive laws.

Engage Young People to Take Back the Tap

Sign Up to Get the Curriculum

Engage and mobilize young people to take action in their schools and communities.

While the simple decision to stop at the water fountain rather than the vending machine can make a real difference, students can make a a much bigger impact by becoming experts and advocates for the right to clean, safe, and affordable tap water.

The lessons have been designed around middle school standards from the four core subject areas —English, Math, Social Studies & Science — but many of them are flexible to be used across the curriculum.

While the lessons can be taught in any configuration, they’re organized for teaching in one day or one week.

Earth Day on April 22nd would be perfect for the one-day curriculum.

You could also spread out the one-week curriculum throughout Blue October, a month dedicated to increase awareness about the human right to water.

The lessons for the one-day curriculum are available for immediate download:

Language Arts Social Studies Science Math
What Am I Drinking? Where Does Bottled Water Come From? How Does Water Move? How Much Does Water Cost?
