Welcome to WorldBeat! One of the objectives of this project is to provide teachers with the best the
Internet has to offer when it comes to lesson plans with a global perspective. All of our recommended
sites are peer reviewed and meet Saskatchewan curriculum objectives. We hope you visit often.
Climate change, pesticide use, clear-cutting of forest resources, extractive technologies and many other issues form the basis of our concern for Planet Earth. The preamble to the Earth Charter states, in part, “We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future” (www.earthcharter.org). At this critical moment, it is incumbent upon us to impart the principles of sustainability to those who will mould the future.
