Green Mountain Conservation Group recently published the Less Plastic Guide for educators, including eight lesson plans for students K-12 with a variety of activities, videos, experiments, and hands-on science to investigate their watershed for microplastics and tackle the issue of plastic pollution on the local level.

All of the lessons are correlated with Next Generation Science Standards. The Guide was recently shared with 12 local schools and is available for teachers, homeschoolers, watershed organizations, and any other institution for free at gmcg.org and by contacting Green Mountain Conservation Group Education Coordinator Tara Schroeder at eduation@gmcg.org.
