Independence Day & The Declaration of Interdependence
Where are you on your Civics education? When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence, written July 4, 1776? If it's been awhile, you can read it here at the National Archives.
The 4th of July brings with it all the celebration of a national holiday and a day off of work: parades, pools, barbeques, and fireworks. Bigger than that though, it brings with it the ideas central to our nation: freedom, autonomy, self-determination.
But, in a world growing more complex by the year with digital advancements, AI, social media, innovation, technological growth, environmental issues, climate change, and more--perhaps we're also on the cusp of needing more. Yes, we're celebrating our independence, but maybe there's also a need to celebrate our interdependence. Ways that we are all connected to each other and our planet, requiring not only life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but perhaps also an approach and vision toward shared responsibility.
In doing so, we take note on how local actions ripple outwardly to our global community. How our stewardship of the Earth is tied not only to our greater purpose but also our greater connection. A vision toward sustainability and how caring for our shared home will impact everyone with the cleanliness of the water, air, the soil that grows our food, and the energy that powers this planet of ours.
Knowing and understanding this interdependence is what environmental literacy is all about.
Maybe this holiday as we are thinking about flags, fireworks, and freedom, maybe its time to think about freedom not about standing alone, but standing together. Maybe its worth create your own Declaration of Interdependence by filling in the blanks below, in the style of the Declaration of Independence's Preamble:

The Environmental Cost of AI
Along my research travels, I ran across this infographic from Educators Technology that Med Kharbach, PhD. It describes the environmental impacts of AI. With us all on our computers all the time, we don't think that one more website might have as big of an impact as it does. But clearly, as it shows below, it's not just the website. There's the energy consumptions, carbon footprint, mineral mining & resource depletion, multiple levels of pollution, and transporation costs. It's a lot to consider here while technology's innovation solves many of our problems, it also creates new ones too... all of which highlights the importance of addressing environmental issues and making it a planetary priority!

Pride Month: Out In the Wild

The waving rainbow flags are pretty and the parades and events can be entertaining. But more importantly, they are empowering. Just as the planet needs biodiversity to thrive, so do we as humans. There's no thriving in nature on sameness. We need the richness of diversity to keep our food webs and habitats healthy; in doing so, we keep our plants and animal species from becoming endangered or extinct. Our wild variety is what maintains our environmental resilience. Our communities and cultures, like our ecosystems, are the healthiest and most vibrant when varied and diverse. Skin colors, sexual/gender orientations, religious beliefs, and all the differences in between.
Nature seemingly is neutral--and yet, that isn't always the reality. Politics have creeped into environmental issues in more ways than one--and with the onset of social media, there's certainly way too much politics.
Additionally, the outdoor world isn't as gender-non-specific as you'd imagine. A lot of the outdoor industry is geared to straight, white males. That can make it hard for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) folks to feel comfortable out in nature. Instead, they can feel more "outsiders" than "out in nature-ers." Outdoor spaces may not always feel safe--both physically and as a place to feel emotionally safe to be out and openly queer. Hate crimes are real, and sadly, LGBTQ+ people are at a higher risk of being victims of these. People not only deserve safe places, but they want and need to feel included, represented, and like they are a part of a community of like-minded individuals...where they are surrounded by connection versus limitations, segregation, or exclusion.
Along those lines, representation and seeing yourself in certain circumstances matter. People matter. Everyone's uniqueness matters. The right to feel comfortable in spaces where you want to be...they matter. Everyone is entitled to the right to be comfortable in their own skin, living a life that works for them, being treated with kindness and respected for who they are. Outdoors or environmental education affinity groups can help to build a more inclusive outdoors, as can the knowledge, the acceptance, and the intersection of LGBTQ+ pride along with racial or environmental justice and outdoor recreation too.There’s a growing field of study known as Queer Ecology. Queer Ecology counters the assumption that nature is rigid or binary. There's a lot of fluidity out there in nature: species that change sex (clownfish and slipper limpets) and same-sex partner paired animals (penguins, bonobos monkeys), and male-birthing seahorses. Imagine if we had that level of openness in our human species and greater communities.
So maybe for the remainder of this Pride Month, now that schools are out and kids, teens, and grown-ups alike are all out and about, playing outside more than before, we can celebrate not only the healthiness of nature's biodiveristy but that of our human kind too. Inviting anyone to climb trees, hike trails, and find their space and place in nature, in a safe way, in a welcoming way, in an everyday way!For more resources that embrace the intersection of pride, planet, environmental & social justice, check out the following:- National Forest Foundations' article: These LGBTQIA+ Leaders are Creating Space for Pride Outdoors

The Invisible Rights That Hold Us: Flag Day 2025
So this Flag Day, while the flags are raised for our country--a country with a long, layered history based on principles, resilience, strength, and democracy while also flawed and imperfect--let’s raise our awareness too of these other rights. These invisible rights. Let's protect them, and in doing so protect each other.
Sometimes that comes quietly in observation, and sometimes we need to speak up when it counts. Here are three places that can help you do that:
- Learn how environmental law protects invisible rights at Earthjustice.
- Explore how enviornmental rights & human dignity are intertwined at The Center for Human Rights and the Environment.
- See how businesses are rethinking their impact in protecting our shared future via climate action at We Mean Business Coalition.

Ahhhh, Summer! The Glory Days for Teachers!
By the time we get there, there's total truth to the statement: "There's no tired like end-of-the-year-teacher tired."
This year, my school did a total box-up, prepping for the next school year in portables (aka: "educational cottages") as our school undergoes a major rebuilding project. So it takes the above statement to a new level: "There's no tired like end-of the year-teacher tired topped with packing an entire elementary school." The movers started in earnest, carrying away boxes and furniture the day after school got out this week. It's going to be a multi-day event! My room was already packed, so I was helping others with fully-packed rooms of instruments, art supplies, and science equipment. There's a lot of stuff in schools, that's for sure!
So as I'm sitting at the cusp of summer, with the glory of summer days, down time, pool fun, day trips, personal projects, and more ahead... I know a large part of summer for me (in addition to relaxation and recalibration) is also free exploration and time to soak in what I want to learn. I have my books I want to read (because "reading season is here"), but I also have websites and podcasts to explore. Maybe this is because my profession is me: I'm a teacher and a lifelong learner. The two go hand in hand.
One of my first stops is going to be a recent Facebook page/website discovery I've made: Educators Technology. (He's on all the other socials too--check out his About page.) In addition to the topic being the core of my being, Educators Technology has a wealth of resources, graphics, articles, and more to ponder, investigate, and dive into. It's a blog that was started in 2010 by Canadian educator Med Kharbach, PhD, and now 15 years later is highly acclaimed, referenced, and followed by K-12 educators. His simple yet detailed infographics drew me in from his Facebook page.
Here are some great resources for my educator friends out there from Educators Technology. (If necessary, click images for clearer versions). Best part--learning happens on our schedule. Maybe at the pool, possibly the beach with sand between our toes, or between naptime and cocktail hour! Cheers!

Reading Season Is Here
Summer is here! Longer days of sun, pool-beach-boat plans abound.... and life starts slowing down as June, July, and August heatwaves head our way. Sounds like reading season to me!
I read all kinds of books: mysteries, romance, coming of age tales, non-fiction, work-related reads, chick-lit, biographies, young adults/kids books, and more. This past year, I've become a big fan of audio books, especially when driving about the world or doing laundry. It makes for the perfect escape and travel mate!
If you are a bibliophile like me, you might be looking for a few good books for your lazy, hazy days of summer ahead.Here are 8 booklists where you can find over 120 books to inspire your eco-reading this season:
- Piqosity's Environmental Literature for Earth Day--divided by genre
- Penguin Random House's Environmental Science Books--divided by topic
- Climate Action's Booklist--divided by reading levels

Yay or Nay to "No Mow May"?
- Allow your lawn to flourish with wildflowers (preferably native) to provide safe comfort and nectar for pollinating bees and butterflies.
- Promote biodiversity by creating a yard habitat for a variety of wildlife.
- Improve your soil health by letting your grass grow longer, which in turn aids in water retention.
- Save your own time and effort by letting your lawn go “au naturel.”
- Reduce pollution by leaving your lawn mower in your garage.
- Can create a healthier, more resilient lawn that is more drought resistant.
- If not tended properly, you can inadvertently create an unwelcome pests: ticks, mosquitoes, and rodents, to name a few.
- You grow more weeds than grass or maybe some invasive species take root, which then takes up an unruly life of its own, overtaking the “good grass.”
- You may even get some unwanted tree seed growth that blow your way in the wind. Woody plants over time are harder to get rid of than weeds (should you change your mind later on with the no-mow business).
- Some home owner associations and local municipalities get a little grumbly over the overgrowth. Might be worth checking you HOA rules and bylaws, which might come with fines.
- Long grass gets heavy over time and the blissful meadow you were hoping for may come to look like a neighborhood eyesore and a no-mowed abandoned lot instead. (see HOA above!)

Happy Mother's Day 2025
May all who tend each other out there (including you, Mother Earth), have a glorious Mother's Day weekend ahead.
To the human mother, rocking her child in the wee small hours, tending to knees and needs, always taking care of thankless deeds....
To the animal mother, shielding her young, whether furred or winged, sheltering the den, fiercely protective & guarding them time and again....
To Mother Earth herself, cradler of forests, keeper of ocean currents, arms wide to the sky where birds soar and fly high....
Thank you for your gift of giving, your love of living, your shelter, warmth, protection, guidance, and endless strength you share.
It is through your raising--whether by heart, hands, paws, wings, rain, sunshine, breath--that we are fed, taught, and shown the path to grow, to heal, to take root, and to soar.
Happy Mother's Day!

Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle: 3 Decades of Teaching Materials Go In the Bin
It's Earth Month, so what better time to get your declutter on and go knee-deep-in reducing, reusing, and recycling!
I recently spent about 11 hours over the course of a weeekend doing just that--tho maybe more like neck-high-in!
My mission: to purge two 4-drawer file cabinets and a dozen tubs and boxes in my garage. Lighten up and make space.
The contents: 30+ years of teaching materials.
Having been a teacher since the fall of 1991 (with the exception of one year between schools where I was moving, pregnant, and having my first child), I've accumulated and created a lot of materials over the years. The majority of my career has been in homeroom classrooms in about 6 different elementary schools. Ten of the last 11 years, the majority of these teacher materials have been living in my garage--untouched as I moved from teaching 3rd grade (or 2nd... or Kindergarten... or 5th grade) to teaching Technology.
In this day and age, files are definitely more digital than anything, and it was time to "let go." No, not retiring yet, but my garage certainly was getting out of hand--just ask my husband! Plus I was settling on the answer of "no" to these questions: "Would I want to go back to a regular homeroom classroom? Would I ever use all of this again, even if I did?"
11 hours of purging about 33 years of materials gives you a lot of time to trip down memory lane. Upon pulling open the first file drawer, I had a pang. Did I really want to do this? I was thinking about the blood, sweat, toil, tears, and lamination/creation time I was about to get rid of. Yes, I'm doing this. It's time to reduce, reuse (via donation), and recycle!
7 garbage bags, 2 filled large yard lidded-recycle bins, at least a dozen bags and boxes of paper stacks of files to recycle, 20 or more dead binders that housed teaching units, and a half a dozen boxes of books to donate, I was in a lighter place.
Yes--I got to see windows into each and every school I have taught.
Yes--there's a lot of money that I have put into my teaching career.
The biggest yes--there's a lot of irony in recycling binders of environment and green school lesson plans a couple weeks before Earth Day. The "circularity" was striking, though maybe not picture perfect when describing the circular economy of true sustainability. But I did mentally hear the "Circle of Life" song from the Lion King going through my mind.
But, also yes--all of this served me at its time. It was there when I needed it. It all helped mold me into the teacher I am today.
And yes--some of the items (ditto copied resources and even transparency overlays from my early days in mid-1990s teaching) should have already been long gone. Maybe, just maybe, I've been an organized hoarder--or at least compiler of teaching materials. I was "curating" long before Pinterest even thought of it. Mine was just the file cabinet version.
The true moment of circularity for me came when my mission was completed and I realized there were far too many materials to put all out at the curb. Boxes of paper won't weather well when setting them out the night before an early trash/recycling pick up the next day. Given that, I loaded my dozen boxes into the back of the car and trekked to the local recycling center. Up and over the ledge into their bin all the boxes went.
A neat field trip we once took at the Maryland Green School I used to work at was to the local landfill and recycling center. I definitely flashed back as my files when floating in the bin.
Yes, full circle.

The ABC Benefits of Travel
We just recently had spring break (a true joy for teachers and students alike).
During that time, my husband and I went to Spain. Needless to say we had an amazing time, and I keep rolling the experiences over my mind. It was both our first time to Spain & to Europe together.
It got me thinking that travel is the ultimate learning experience -- outdoor education as we walked miles through the cities we visited, conversations with locals and with travelers learning from each other, awareness of how other countries do things that we take for granted, comparing 'us versus them' and 'new versus old' and noticing that both can be exceptional...and that we are richer for the experience.
All of this during my trip reflection led to these ABC benefits of travel and all of the things I loved about our trip--big, small, important, powerful, significant, and meaningful.
Architecture & art and an astonishment of "how did they do that, so long ago, with less tools and technology to build these amazing structures?"
Bevy of beverages...not to mention bon voyages, backpacks, boarding passes, and bounding into new experiences.
Churches & cathedrals & capturing the visual sensation of old worlds and modern times coming together.
Deepen understanding of others and their diversity.
Exposure to exotic &/or extraordinary experiences, exploring different cultures, and exercising through miles of exploration.
Food, flavor, fun, flexibility (as things don't always go the way you expect), ....and for us: flamenco!
Gives you a chance to become a global citizen, seeing how interconnected & similar we are despite our differences.
Hands-on history lessons where you get to be at the heart of where so much has happened and see the impact humans have had on a place over time.
Increases empathy & exposes you to brand new horizons & it impacts your way of thinking and it illuminates new ideas.
Journeys have a way of jump-starting your creative juices as you see things through a different lens.
Keeps you on your toes as you navigate new territory, keenly aware on the kaleidoscope of new sights in front of you.
Learning thru immersion and sometimes even the uncertainty of local languages and getting lost.
Make meaningful memories while meandering, and meeting others along the way.
Novelty, newness, and nature nourish our soul and keeps us energized.
Overcoming small hurdles like getting around and trying to communicate in other languages gives a great opportunity for growth.
Perspectives, people-watching, & opportunities to practice patience.
Quaint little shops & quiet corners are what make new places quintessential gifts along your quest.
Real opportunity to build rapport and relationships with your fellow ramblers, while also reaffirming that rest, relaxation, and reflection are so important in order to emotionally, spiritually, and mentally readjust from the rigors of every day life.
Stepping out of your own comfort zone and savoring the sights, sounds, sensations, & situations of somewhere brand new to you.
Time takes on new meaning, you are totally “in the moment” when traveling.
Unexpected and unique ways to unplug and step away from the urge to gravitate toward your technology.
Value and validation comes in the voyage, vision, and new-to-you view and vantage point of vacations.
Wanderlust gives you the chance to coddiwample: wander forth freely without a destination.
‘Xcursions can give you ‘xactly what you need if you approach travel with an open mind.
You can feel young at heart as you travel, since you are never to old to learn and experience something new.
Zeal for life and zen moments abound as travel reignites passion, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the world around you.
“Travel is rich with learning opportunities, and the ultimate souvenir is a broader perspective.”

Earth Hour 2025 Is Here... And So Is World Water Day
If you saw my last post, you saw the "Save the Date" for tonight's Earth Hour. (If you didn't, go back and do so to up your learning potential!)
Your mission: Turn off your lights from 8:30-9:30 pm in your time zone. In doing so you take a stand with the environment by being a part of a global event, raising awareness for environmental sustainability, and promoting the importance of conserving energy.
As it happens, March 22nd is also World Water Day, as it is annually. (Earth Hour is usually the 4th Saturday of the March.) This United Nations Environmental Day was created to emphasize the global importance of clean water access to everyone.
This year's theme is "Glacier Preservation.
So perhaps while you are flipping the switch to turn out your lights this year for Earth Hour, you'll stop and think a bit about what a precious resource water is... and of ways to conserve water too!
To learn more, go to the UN World Water Day site and check out their many resources. You can also check out WWF's list of 8 Water Scarcity Facts.

Lunar Eclipse Ahead: March 13--14, 2025
- The ancient Incas believed it was a sign of their moon goddess Mama Quilla's being attacked by a jaguar. The noise of howling dogs would help scare the jaguar away and bring back the bright full moon.
- The ancient Mesopotamians hid their king during a lunar eclipse to protect him from danger of attack, parading out a faux king instead.
- In India, it was seen as a bad omen. People covered their food and performed cleaning rituals as a form of protection.
- Native American tribes of Hupa & Luiseno saw the moon as injured or ill, so tribal members would sing songs of healing.
- The people of Togo and Benin in Africa saw it as an argument between Sun and Moon, which helped them put aside old feuds as a sign of reverence.
- Old Testament Christian beliefs tie it to the wrath of God and the beginning of the end.
