POLLUTING EDUCATION

The document serves as a resource guide for the Canadian education system to counter the influence of corporate interests in climate curricula. It categorizes a wide array of vetted materials across themes such as climate science, Indigenous perspectives, civic engagement, and climate justice. Additionally, it lists advocacy networks, including For Our Kids and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, which work to remove industry-sponsored materials from schools.

• The document advocates for the use of "fossil-free resources"—materials for teaching climate change and the environment that were created without input from the fossil fuel industry.
• The Canadian Association for Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) has specifically campaigned in British Columbia to have the Ministry of Education stop using education materials sponsored by the fossil fuel industry.
• The guide identifies several specific resource categories to support holistic climate education, including climate science, Indigenous perspectives, civic engagement, climate justice, and methods to counter industry misinformation.
