Personal Finance - The Budget Project

I use this assignment whenever I teach Personal Finance. There is no better way to teach budgeting skills and the power of money than to have the students track and record their spending for five months. This is probably the most powerful activity that I have used in teaching this course.

The Sustainable Fish: An Interactive Story Map

Rating

Sustainable Seafood means that there was no damage caused to the environment or native species by catching the fish, crab or clam on your plate. There is a very simple way for you to make a positive impact on the health of our oceans and fish populations, and that is to choose sustainable seafood. This does not mean choosing between farmed fish or wild caught fish – there is much more involved than that. Learn about the different methods of fishing and understand the story of how the seafood reaches our plate. Every human, no matter where you are in the world, as both a positive and negative impact on the ocean. Exploring this story map helps us understand how our little choices can make a big impact.
