Environmental Groups and the Three Economic Sectors
Environmental Groups and the Three Economic Sectors
Description:
This unit sets the stage for an introduction to the three economic sectors: "profit," "nonprofit" and "government." The students learn what makes an organization fit into its appropriate category. Taking that information, they apply it to researching environmental groups within the three categories. Students must decide into which sector they fall and why. The students then take their knowledge of nonprofit organizations and apply that information to the research of nonprofit environmental organizations. The historical focus of this unit is the 1960's and the students are introduced to the factors that led to the creation of the environmental movement. The unit has a strong economic focus as well that allows student to interpret data about environmental nonprofit organizations investigated. This information is used as students decide how to invest their time and money in a nonprofit environmental organization.
