Global Warming Bake Sale

Make your favorite cookie recipe and have a bake sale. The profits can be used to help promote solar energy, recycling and reducing waste. Young children love to bake and eat cookies and this project will help them feel like they are a part of the solution rather than just a part of the problem.

Many local groups in your community are working towards ways to use solar energy, recycle or reduce the impact we are having on the earth. By donating locally you will be helping to reduce global warming and showing the children where their money and efforts are going. Having a global warming bake sale is empowering to young children.

Young children often hear of world problems and begin to worry. Often a way to dispel their fears is to enlist them in positive acts that can work towards a goal that will solve the problem. In this case we are looking at ways to help solve the problem of Global Warming.

Fund raisers are often a great way to help as you are able to send money to organizations of your choice, close to home that are installing solar projects, creating recycling or second hand shops, or reducing waste in the first place.

Often small amounts of money made at Global Warming Bake Sales can raise just enough money to make a difference on the local level. Bake Sales are also projects that can be done by even very small children. When the children realize that the cookies that they baked were sold to provide money close to their homes they feel empowered and can believe that it is indeed possible, as individuals, to make a difference and stop global warming.

On a hot, sunny day it can be fun to create your own solar oven. Just line a cardboard box with aluminum foil and set it in the sun. By cooking your cookies in a solar overn, you are helping to prevent Global Warming. Sell the cookies and the profet can be used to to help stop Global Warming.
