Be The Change

Be The Change was created especially for the school curriculum.

In Grade 10 Life Skills is mandatory so this program is a good fit.  This program is also a good fit for Rotary.

At schools we need first to have a conversation about Rotary and how that’s a good connection.

We cant solve today’s problems with yesterdays thinking.

We are in a fix.  What to do?

We see rampant consumption all around us.  It didn’t used to be like this.  We used to place more value in the past,

Now we are such a throw away society.

We have to look for new answers.  We do not have limitless resources.  We need to value what we have.

How do we change?  Are we insignificant?  Everything we do is important.

We want to hire the best people.

Can we leave the world a better place?

To waste is a sin.  Don’t take disposable coffee cups.  Non-recyclable paper cups with plastic lids.

Just don’t take them anymore.

Do we really need storage lockers?  We have so much stuff we cant even use it all.

Use the 5 values guide of the “Be The Change” guide.

The school program has been a valuable tool for information.

Values hold us together.

Pick on something small.  Don’t use plastic bags at the grocery store.

Habits are hard to change.

Power Smart has a great program
