The Little Green Book of Sustainable Ideas is a compilation of green ideas û a small drop in a
vast ocean - educators can bring into the classroom. They are only a small sample of the
recent innovations, interventions, and inventions that could change how our children live
their lives in the twenty-first century. These ideas are designed to be project-based, with
Ontario curriculum connections to science, math, and visual arts from Grade 4 to Grade 6.
We provide instructions and possible scenarios to integrate these projects, but educators
are encouraged to fill in the blanks and modify as much as they need to fit into their lesson
plans. When we talk about ideas that are sustainable, we are thinking long-lasting, enduring,
and efficient. At the same time, they are also feasible, practical, and impactful.
