Google Docs & Spreadsheets in partnership with Global SchoolNet present...
The Global Warming Student Speakout! is an opportunity for youth and teachers to share their best ideas about global warming.
We must all work together to prevent global warming. What can people do to prevent global warming? Use this template to help you brainstorm. Please add your own ideas under the appropriate category, or create a new category and put your ideas there. This structure is designed to help you come up with a "wheelbarrow full" of ideas - not to constrain your thinking - out-of-box ideas are welcome (and needed)!
Important! Brainstorming Must Be Completed by 11/3/2006
