Women’s History Month: Taking the lead to save our planet
March 30th, 2009
Green Women's Month
March is only here for a couple more days, but its not too late to celebrate Women’s History Month.
The 2009 theme is Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet. Even though women’s history month is almost over, environmental educators can take advantage of this great theme and use it throughout the year.
From www.womenshistorymonth.gov: ”In 1987, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to expand the celebration [from a week] to the entire month of March. Since then, the National Women’s History Month Resolution has been approved every year with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.”
Here is the president’s proclamation of 2009′s women’s history month.
