1 Participants / Students Guide

Open www.ecoActUs.org and choose "For Participants / Participant's Guide". Read the 6 Steps. If you can, watch the videos in the right column. If you are going to create an Action Plan, review the materials in the left column.

 

2 Enter the eWorkbook

Whenever you return to ecoActUs, choose "For Participants / Bootcamp eWorkbook", to restart the eWorkbook.

3 Introduction to the Situation

Session 1. Basics of Climate Change. Explore the Music, Art, Film in the upper left corner. Explore Readings and Media at the bottom. When ready, start the session lecture by clicking on “Start Unit Lecture”. You may want to watch the entire lecture, but pay particular attention to Sarah Cove and HG Chissell.

 

4 Strategies that Work…

Review the Overview and Big Opportunities

 

5 Built Environment

Spend time on this Track. Read the Overview and Big Opportunities. Explore the Readings and Media. If you have time, check out Music, Art, and Film. Click on Start Unit Lecture; this is probably one you’ll want to listen from start to end.

 

6 Challenging the Status Quo

Depending on your local circumstances you may want to review this session to help create a plan for moving your organization forward. The Big Opportunities highlight areas that are common blockades in many organizations. If any of these ring true, you may want to listen to this lecture.

 

7 Road to Change

Like the last session, at least look over the Overview and Big Opportunities. Depending on local circumstances, listen to the lecture.

 

8 Building Support

If you’re working with more than 2 people, you may need to build support for a specific plan. Check out the Overview and Big Opportunities and if it seems to make sense, listen to the lecture.

 

9 Quiz

Take the Quiz at the end of each session you spend time with; if you’re not sure of the answers and feel you should, review that session. Your goal is to learn what you need and want, to become a more effective sustainability leader!

Curriculum Guide

The EcoActUs eWorkbook contains a wide variety of materials. Some will be interested in all the material, but most want a guided set of materials. Use the Guide pertaining to your interest area in order to narrow the content. Of course, if you find another area of interest, follow that interest trail. Your goal should be to explore and inform yourself in those areas that make the most sense.
