Register for 4-H Eco Warriors Online SPIN Club

Who Are Eco Warriors? Do you know a youth between 14 and 18 years old that wants to change the world for the better? The 4-H Eco Warriors Special Interest (SPIN) Club may be the right place for them to get started. This September and October, 4-H, natural resources, and sustainability agents and staff from UF/IFAS Extension Pinellas and Polk counties will provide an exciting eight-week online club experience. This club, especially for youth ages 14-18 years, will explore sustainability and the connections between food, energy, and water, and what those connections mean for the future of people all over the world.

Why Be an Eco Warrior? Sustainability education includes a wide range of topics important in today’s global society. Eco Warriors club members will learn about system thinking, a powerful tool for understanding how our behaviors impact natural ecosystems. Applying a system thinking approach to sustainability enables us to see the long-term impacts of consumerism and avoid unintended consequences to our health, our communities, our economy, and our environment.
