Students take on the role of environmental activist-educators who strive to educate elementary school students about environmental restoration in the wake of natural and human-caused disturbances to ecosystems. Students research the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to natural or man-made environmental disasters or issues. Their job is to understand the impact that disasters have on both the environment as well as the many ways they impact humans. This includes understanding the social, economic, health, legal, and political impact and effects, so they can begin to develop solutions for returning the environment to its optimal state. Students then create educational materials for elementary students on their topic that describes the environmental issue, causes, impact, and possible alternatives or solutions.
