Think Earth and Think Earth! It's Magic

Think Earth

The Sanitation Districts are a founder of the Think Earth Environmental Education Foundation, which provides free, award-winning classroom curriculum for grades pre-K through 8. Think Earth distributes grade specific kits containing 5-8 engaging lessons, colorful posters, and a video. The program is correlated to California Content Standards.

By completing the program, students learn the importance of a clean, healthy environment and what they can do to conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and minimize pollution. Students learn to "Think Earth!"

To request a kit or for more information, please visit www.thinkearth.org.

Think Earth now offers environmental surveys for home and school. Go to www.thinkearth.org/surveys to find two easy-to-conduct surveys you can use to lessen your environmental impact. The home survey can be conducted by family members, and the school survey can be conducted as a class project from grade 6 on up. Once survey answers are entered online, personalized recommendations are generated to show you how to better "Think Earth." The free, broad-based surveys cover air quality, energy and water conservation, and waste reduction.

Think Earth! It's Magic

Grades K-5 classes are invited to participate in Think Earth! It's Magic, a program that includes the award-winning Think Earth curriculum and free environmental magic shows for schools that register. The magic show, performed by eco-magician Paul Cash, reinforces science concepts and good environmental behaviors.

Think Earth! It's Magic is a collaboration between the Sanitation Districts, Central Basin Municipal Water District, and the Think Earth Environmental Education Foundation. To sign up for this free program, please call (323) 201-5519.
