Is protecting the environment important to you? Are you concerned that more and more animal and plant species are becoming endangered each day? Do you believe that people can make a difference if they try? Do you want to be one of those people?

The above is an excerpt from an advertisement you can use to introduce this project to your students. The scope of this project is to involve your students in a simulation of a real-world task: to start a youth chapter of a nonprofit environmental organization. Students will learn content and language skills as they develop their organization. They will research various environmental concerns and how individuals and organizations are working to make the Earth a safer, better, healthier place to live. There are three separate phases to this project.
