Bridge Builders Challenge, Environment and Sustainability Challenge

This activity is designed for young people who want to learn where their food comes from and how much effort goes into producing it.

Food grows in gardens and forests. It is fished from oceans and rivers. It is hunted or gathered from the land. But most of our food comes from farms. Sometimes these are small family-run farms or community gardens, and sometimes they are large commercial farms that stretch as far as the eye can see.

It takes land, good soil, the right weather, skills, labor, money, and resources to produce the food we eat. To better understand the effort behind every meal, let’s try to grow our own food.

These activities are available in English, Spanish, and Mayan.!

Why should we care about the ocean? Because every person on the planet relies on it. We all need water to survive, and all water originates from the ocean. The ocean’s health is critical to the balance and well-being of our planet. Without it, most life on Earth would cease to exist.

These films are an introduction to the Ocean Discovery Day challenges - a set of workshops that enable teams to take on a meaningful challenge in order to become more plastic-intelligent as individuals and as a community.
