We are the (Re)Generation
"Together we can support a (Re)generative (Re)covery by RE-thinking what is possible. What we've learned from the Coronavirus pandemic crisis is that the generations need to support each other. We are not Boomers, Gen X-ers, Millenials, Gen Z, or whatever comes after Gen Z. We are living at this pivotal moment, we are all part of the Re-Generation. If that vision of ‘after’ resonates with you, tell us how you identify with the (Re)Generation…show us your (Re)Action."
-Miya K.,East Bay Parent
Show us your story of how you take action at home and in your community.
We are the (Re)Generation Toolkit
The We are the (Re)Generation Toolkit is an action-based storytelling platform for students, families and school communities to collectively create and re-envision a new sustainable and regenerative earth story with caring at the core. Through creative, reflective and meaningful activities participants can easily take action from home. Participants share how they took action, and ultimately ask, “What Are Your 4Rs?”. Stories may be shared on our social media channels and our StopWaste Stakeholder Schools Network to inspire others to take action.
