[ To request a Spanish or French form, please e-mail us at:
Enviroday@un.org and write `Form-S' for Spanish and `Form-F' for
French in the subject field. ]
The United Nations is interested in what your school or community
group is doing to protect the environment. The lessons you have
learned, the solutions you have devised, the problems you have
encountered, are of interest to other schools and groups around the
world, as they might be facing similar problems.
The United Nations CyberSchoolBus will put together an on-line global
atlas of student action on the environment and we want to include your
school's contribution. The United Nations CyberSchoolBus, is an
on-line educational service. The CyberSchoolBus offers a wealth of
information, activities and teaching resources designed to engage as
well as inform.
Please help us, and the planet, by sending a 100-150 word description
of what your class or group has done as a contribution to the
protection, restoration and enhancement of the environment.
The areas of activity and accomplishment are endless. They could deal
with energy efficiency, marine or freshwater protection, wildlife
conservation, community clean-ups, waste recycling, soil conservation
and forest protection, or any area you feel approrpriate.
The United Nations will collect your submissions and make them
available on-line as part of its observance of World Environment Day,
5 June 1998. Everyone's contributions will be recognized at an event
held at the UN.
How to enter:
1. Any class/school group at primary, intermediate or secondary level
may enter.
2. Any environmental action taken since September 1997 is eligible for
submission. If you have not done anything yet, it is time for you to
get on with it! Plan and carry out an action, then report it to us by
the DEADLINE of 17 May 1998.
3. A school may send one or more entries, but no single class can send
more than one. Each report must be certified by the
teacher/supervisor.
4. All entries must be submitted via e-mail (see the form below) or on
the World Wide Web. In case you yourself do not have access to either,
you can send your submissions through any office or person with
access to e-mail.
5. You may submit your entry in English, French or Spanish.
The e-mail form with instructions is below. In order to access the
submission form on the UN CyberSchoolBus web site, go to:
http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/planet
REMEMBER: Your report must not exceed 150 words. No entries will be
accepted after 17 May 1998. And every report must be certified by a
teacher or group supervisor.
All valid entries will become part of the final document, an on-line
global atlas of environmental action. Of these, the most innovative
and interesting reports will be selected for inclusion in a printed
booklet.
