Earth Day Media Press Release
Earth Day, April 22, is coming up fast. If you would like to alert the local media about activities that you and your students are doing to improve the earth, here are templates that your students can fill in and send to media outlets in your neighborhood. We recommend that you have students send this out to your local newspapers and/or TV outlets one week in advance, (or April 15th, if your event in on the 22nd) then again April 20th. (Mark your calendars!) Please ask your students to do this, and to follow up with a phone call or, maybe even an in-person visit, if that's feasible. Practice with your students on what they would say if they are interviewed by media or politicians--how doing this work makes them feel, what they are learning, mentioning Service Learning Texas, EnCana and Texas Parks and Wildlife--all are helpful. Please invite your local political representative to join you and let us know what happens!
