Students write about and interact on environmental issues facing their communities<br />
during the year. Since 1995, a youth planning committee has coordinated an annual<br />
event in April, which brings together youth of the world to share how they are using<br />
technology in environmental projects. Students investigate water and forest habitats,<br />
recycling, waste management, endangered species, energy use and a variety of other<br />
topics. Possible project/classroom activities include investigations of habitats, tree<br />
surveys, weather observations, energy and resource use, water testing, investigations<br />
of cultural perspectives on the natural world, etc.<br />
Our expected outcomes are to inspire other cities and nations to have their own<br />
YouthCaNs so that one day every human may participate positively and effectively<br />
toward a healthy planet Earth. Ongoing, physical meetings worldwide in March and<br />
April, including a conference at the American Museum of Natural History in New York<br />
City, USA, as well as in Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries.<br />
