Differentiation

Economics classes can discuss the effects of tax incentives, grants, and discounts on low-energy appliances, weatherization products, and renewable energy technology to households and the economy.
Science classes can discuss the climate benefits of conserving land that protects the ecosystem services, forests, grasslands, or other natural environments.
This resource can be used in math classes that are practicing making and reading graphs or that are learning how to analyze data gathered over time.
This could be a great bell-ringer for classes discussing state initiatives that support green jobs, green energy, or energy efficiency.
