The message of Earth Day has had a long history on the campus of San Jose State University and that tradition continues this year as students and faculty work to create new ways to education the next generation about protecting the planet.
“We use humor and fun and tell kids about things they can do in their own community to make a difference,” said Professor Eugene Cordero, a climate scientist at SJSU. “For kids, they can’t put solar panels on their roof every day but they get a choice about what they eat.”Cordero started a research program almost a decade ago called “The Green Ninja” to help educate students in schools about climate change and reducing their carbon footprint.
“I learned a lot from working on it,” said Kiana Luong, a SJSU animation student. “As we know this is there future and they’re the ones who will hopefully make a change.” The graphic novel will be targeted toward sixth grade students. It continues a tradition of Earth Day initiatives at SJSU. According to the university, the day itself was founded by an alum, Gaylord Nelson in 1970.
