Introduction

eCards is an environmental education and advocacy tool for grades 7-12 that aims to empower youth to act for the climate by learning about environmental issues, creating informed messages, and acting on them. By sending an eCard to a decision maker, eCards allows learners to express what they have learned through their research and what matters most to them through art and writing in order to generate awareness and to take meaningful, collective action.
