Teaching the Water-Energy Connection Webinar Now Available Online

Last week the National Environmental Education Foundation hosted a webinar in partnership with River Network and Earth Day Network called Teaching the Water-Energy Connection, which is now available online. The webinar begins with a general overview of the water-energy nexus in the United States before highlighting successful water and energy conservation projects taking place in schools across the country, as well as lesson plans on the water-energy connection.

To learn more about the National Environmental Education Week (which is only 3 days away!) check out EE Week’s “Be Water and Energy Wise” website.

Below you can view the entire webinar on YouTube. My presentation on the water-energy nexus begins at about the 5:00 minute mark. Brenna and Sean from Earth Day Network begin talking about some awesome water and energy conservation projects happening in schools across the country around 47:20 min, then at about 1 hr 13:45 min they describe the water-energy lessons plans assembled by Earth Day Network for middle and high school students. Enjoy!

You can also download a video file (.wmv) of the webinar and all associated resources – including PDF’s of presentation slides (for hand outs, etc.) and Earth Day Network’s fabulous lesson plans on the water energy connection – by visiting: EE Week Educator Webinar: Teaching the Water-Energy Connection.
