This site shows students how to participate in the Earth Day Groceries Project , in which students decorate paper grocery bags with pro-environmental messages, and give them to stores to use to hold customers' groceries. This site sells a curriculum in which students learn about everyday heroes, study the quality of heroes, and then implement a service-learning project so they, too, can be heroic. Here, teachers can download curriculum guides that will help classes perform service-learning projects with a focus on improving local water quality.

K-12 Students pick up litter at local beaches, which they then analyze and categorize.
