Let Tucker House come to you!

Can't make it out to Tucker House with your school or community group? Why not invite one of our educators to your class, retreat, camp, after school program or community group? We offer environmental workshops in two main categories: "Food Choices and the Environment" and "Energy Choices and the Environment".

Food Choices and the Environment: Learn how to save the environment, one forkful at a time. Choose one of the three workshops below:

• Healthier for Me, Healthier for the Planet: Participants will learn the 5 Ns of making food choices that are friendlier to the planet and better for their health. A great complement to the Health and Physical Education program and high school nutrition courses.

• Think Globally, Eat Locally: Participants will learn the distance their food travels from where it is grown to where they eat it; the environmental impact of that distance; and what they can do to reduce the impact of their food choices. (note: this program requires outdoor space for running)

• Why Organic?: What is “organic” or “ecological” farming? What are the environmental problems with industrial agriculture and what are the more sustainable alternatives?

Energy Choices and the Environment: Learn the impact of our energy and other consumption habits on the environment and some easy changes that can be made to ease the environmental burden of our everyday lives.

• Get Energy Smart: Participants will learn what activities have the greatest impact on greenhouse gas emissions and some simple, cost free changes they can make.

• Ecological Footprint – What’s Your Size?: Participants will learn how big their ecological footprint is (from tip-toeing ballerina to stomping Godzilla) and how they might go about shrinking their “shoe size.” (note this program requires use of the gym if done in the school)
