Sustainable Futures Summit #SFS25

 In this interactive session, we’ll explore how elementary students can build an early understanding of sustainability and feel empowered to make a real difference in their communities. Using engaging ClickView videos and a simple, high-impact persuasive writing activity, you’ll leave with practical ideas and ready-to-use resources to bring the global goals of sustainability into your classroom. Together, we’ll help students become thoughtful stewards of our world—one classroom project at a time.

ClickView is home to curated, standards-aligned videos for every grade, subject and topic. We make it easy for teachers to find the perfect video for any class in seconds. Videos on ClickView are short, fresh and fun to spark curiosity and enhance engagement. Every video comes with classroom-ready interactive quizzes so students can explore, explain and evaluate their learning, all while watching a video. Teachers can see how their students perform through actionable analytics, helping them target gaps in understanding and personalize their teaching.

Food waste is a huge issue facing the world right now. Our session will cover ways to reduce one's ecological footprint by making cooking more sustainable. We will not only explain the concepts, but also walk participants through a hands-on cooking class!

We will take a look at social sustainability influencers like @aditimayer, ponder how we can upcycle our sneakers, and what can we use those scraps for when we cut our t-shirts? We will take a look at some of our favorite clothing websites and examine how they are impacting our planet, while creating something new from something used.

Working for Change highlights NYS Climate Act and the emission reduction goals, and the jobs that will be created in clean energy sectors to reach these goals. We highlight a solar installer, HVAC and Wind Turbine Technician careers and their career pathways.

Our Advocacy workshop talks about what makes a campaign and coalition building specifically a success and motivates youth to get involved in policy change now. Our Junior Clean Power fellow talks about how she founded the Long Beach Green Schools Campaign with the goal of transitioning Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD)–the 4th largest school district in California–off of fossil fuels. And how she won!
