ANNOUNCING - The September 2008 issue of The Change Agent -- "Making Sense of Climate Change" A deeper understanding of global warming, reasons for hope, actions you can take, opportunities for justice - these are just some of the reasons to bring the current issue of The Change Agent into your ABE or ESOL classroom. This issue offers 60 pages of short articles, illustrations, cartoons, math lessons, and quizzes to break down the science, economics, and everyday effects of global warming. Learn about greenhouse gases, energy-saving tricks that also save money, green jobs, justice-based solutions to climate change, and how adult learners are teaching their kids about conservation, saying no to junk mail, and lobbying their mayors to do more for the environment. As one Hurricane Katrina survivor reminds us, hope comes from "learning more about a problem and participating directly in the solution." This idea - that understanding and participation are at the root of hopefulness - is a central theme in this issue's articles, graphics, and lesson plans. Visit the web site at www.nelrc.org/changeagent for information on how to subscribe. SUPPORT THE ONGOING WORK of The Change Agent to make social justice part of the adult education classroom. Thank you.
