Student Resource Seasons in the City What does the article and poster below tell you about the ways that local government can encourage students to get involved with litter reduction and prevention What could you do as an individual to “put litter in its place” What could your classroom or school do EDMONTON April 22, 2010 - Students from McArthur elementary school did their part for Earth Day on Wednesday by getting rid of the garbage littering their school yard. The north-end school is one of more than 124 local schools putting trash in its place by participating in the annual Capital City Clean Up’s Schoolyard Clean Up event. “It makes a lot of sense (for Earth Day) because it focuses on caring for and protecting the environment, green spaces and local wildlife,” said Elvie De Benedetto, senior program planner with Capital City Clean Up. The schoolyard program started in 1998, encouraging local schools and their communities to pick up garbage on an ongoing basis after the spring melt. Last year, 29 schools signed on for the event, with numbers rising each year, De Benedetto said. “There are multiple benefits to this program. It encourages children and youth to be responsible for their surrounding environment and to make their schoolyards safe and enjoyable for the entire community,” she said, adding these efforts may inspire other citizens to do their part. “This is an opportunity to walk the talk, to teach students that small acts like this, at school or at home, add up and have a larger global effect,” said Farah Kaba, a teacher at the school. “The students take great pride in having a tidy schoolyard.” Excerpted with permission from QMI Agency. 100 Make A Better City
Student Resource Pets in the City The City of Edmonton’s “Pets in the City” campaign was developed to remind pet owners about their responsibilities. A campaign is a project or program that works to meet a goal. Why do you think a local government might develop and advertise a campaign like this The goal of the Pets in the City campaign is to encourage people to be responsible pet owners. A responsible pet owner involves much more than making sure a pet has enough food and water or providing them with care and a home. Pet owners are also responsible for the actions of their pets. The City of Edmonton considers licensing one of the most important parts of responsible pet ownership. Responsible pet owners not only look after their pet’s health and wellness, they also make sure their pet is a positive addition to the community. This means controlling, training and cleaning up after pets so the city stays safe, clean and healthy for people and animals. Many responsibilities related to pet ownership are also the law. The City of Edmonton regulates pet ownership under the Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw. Think Ahead to Make It Real What type of campaign could you launch in your school or your neighbourhood to support Pets in the City Think of some important messages that a campaign could promote. Keep these ideas and “make it real” when you have finished your research! What do you think is most important for all pet owners to know and do Discuss these “think alouds” with your group: A responsible pet owner makes sure that.... Every pet should.... Pets need licences because.... Make A Better City 101
