Charlotte, NC (Thursday, January 9, 2025) — To empower teachers and students to explore their world, the Environmental Education Initiative offers a curated collection of free environmental education resources for K-12 classrooms. Powered by worldwide edtech leader Discovery Education, the Environmental Education Initiative is a first-of-its-kind effort that helps students engage in environment science, make informed decisions that support healthy environments, and supports civic engagement. 

The Environmental Education Initiative supports learners with standards-aligned resources that explore contemporary topics in environmental studies. The captivating multimodal content created by this initiative includes videos, ready-to-use lessons, and student activities exploring subjects such as energy, forestry, clean water, and more. The newest resources include 3 generation innovation video bundles, created in partnership with Nucor, Honeywell, and Subaru of America, Inc., and 6 student-facing activities, powered by LyondellBasell. 

Research reveals that environmental education helps improve overall academic performance, enhances critical thinking skills, and helps students develop personal growth and life-building skills,” said Amy Nakamoto, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Alliances at Discovery Education. “We are proud to work alongside our partners to not only help students explore, grow, and develop academically and personally, but also to support teachers, as they help all learners explore the world around them, engage in civic life, and build healthy futures.” 

 The resources from the Environmental Education Initiative are created with The National Environmental Education Foundation and other partners, including Honeywell, LyondellBasell, Nucor, and Subaru of America, Inc.
