Several sets of material for teaching global warming concepts and effects are available for perusal or loan in the Sierra Club office in Maplewood. Between 11:00am and 3:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, our office manager, Penny Holtzmann, will help you choose and check out the videos and books. Please call 314-644-0890 before coming to the office.
The Sierra Club EMG also produced a slide show on global warming suitable for high school and middle school (junior high?) students. It covers the science of global warming, consequences of climate change, and what students can do about it. Contact Henry Robertson at 314-647-5603 or hrbtsn@aol.com for a presentation or information about borrowing the slide show.
