Going Green: 8 Activities to Teach Sustainability in Your Classroom

go green assignment

Schools across the nation focus on building skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. This mindset encourages learners to  apply  their knowledge.

People of all ages are inspired by the idea of making the world a better place. By incorporating sustainability in your classroom – both as a mindset and as a pedagogy – teachers like you are inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards and shaping students into global citizens.

What is Sustainability?

The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development states: “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , “sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. To pursue sustainability is to create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations.”

Here are some ways you can infuse sustainability into your classroom:

“Green” Your Lessons

Sustainability boils down to using resources wisely to ensure the ongoing capacity to maintain life and provide for future generations. By providing engaging content and hands-on activities, and leading through example, teachers can empower learners to take an active role in the sustainability movement.

Below are some suggestions for easy-to-do activities with a sustainability theme for middle school students from PLT’s PreK-8 Environmental Education Activity Guide . Use these activities to supplement your curriculum for teaching core subject areas including not only science, but also math, reading, writing, social studies, and more.

Each PLT activity is designed to guide learners through the process of awareness, understanding, challenge, motivation, and action by developing skills such as observing, analyzing, problem-solving, and decision making.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Activity 14 – Renewable or Not

Students often do not know which resources are renewable and which are nonrenewable, or which are recyclable or reusable. In this activity, students will learn what these terms mean and discover why sustainable use of natural resources is so important.

Activity 37 – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

By taking a look at their own trash, your students will learn a lot about how and why they throw things away. Students will also conduct a service-learning project, and in doing so, find ways to cut down on the waste they produce and improve how waste is managed in their community.

Activity 83 – A Peek at Packaging

Nearly everything we buy comes in some sort of package. Packaging, made from a variety of renewable and nonrenewable resources, is necessary to protect an item, keep it fresh, make it tamper-proof, and make the item easy to transport and store. In this activity, students will examine the pros and cons of different packaging strategies.

Here are more ideas to incorporate reducing, reusing, and recycling:

  • Appoint a “recycling monitor” to remind classmates of ways items can be recycled and reused.
  • Explore how to reduce single-use plastic  to protect the environment.
  • Up-cycle classroom scraps to create models, artwork, and projects.  Try some of these animal art projects made with recycled materials.
  • Engage your class in a Waste & Recycling Investigation to determine how much waste their school generates and where it goes, and get them to design a project to start or expand school-wide recycling and composting efforts.

Save Energy

Activity 39 – Energy Sleuths

There are different sources of energy. Some are renewable; some are nonrenewable. In this activity, your students will learn about the different sources, advantages, and disadvantages to their use, and how energy is used in their daily lives.

Activity 73 – Waste Watchers

Energy seems easy to use, but obtaining it is often not easy on the environment. When we reduce the amount of energy we use, we decrease the pollution that results from producing that energy. In this activity, your students conduct an audit of the energy they use in their own homes and create an action plan to reduce energy use.

Teaching your students about energy does not need to be complicated. It can be as easy as modeling ways to use resources wisely:

  • Lead a discussion to assess where in the classroom electricity might be being wasted and remind your students to turn off and unplug devices when they are not being used.
  • Replace traditional light bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs.
  • Help students understand how the choices they make have an impact on the planet using an online “ carbon calculator .”
  • Engage your class in an Energy Investigation to determine how much energy their school uses, the primary sources of that energy, and ways to implement energy-saving strategies.

Inspire Sustainable Attitudes

Activity 19 – Viewpoints on the Line

This activity is designed to get students thinking about their own views while also listening to those of their classmates. It helps students explore the underlying assumptions that shape our opinions.

Activity 86 – Our Changing World

Patterns of change are evident in the Earth’s global systems, particularly as they relate to both energy and resources. To help students see how changing one aspect of our world affects others, students make a graphic organizer connecting natural resources, energy, and human activities. They also research a global issue, thereby gaining an understanding of some of the issues facing us today as a global society.

Activity 92 – A Look at Lifestyles

By examining the historical attitudes of American Indians and American pioneers toward the environment and natural resources, students can reflect on their own lifestyles, and identify trade-offs between simple subsistence and the modern technology-based living.

Be careful not to bombard students with the doom and gloom of growing environmental concerns. Focus on examples of change that are having a positive impact:

  • Share success stories such as ways environmental policies and movements have reduced pollution or reversed diminishing populations of unique organisms.
  • Share examples of  how young environmentalists have made a difference .
  • Share examples from other Green Schools to inspire your students to design and complete an action project to improve their environment and health.

Teachers play a vital role in preparing students to meet future challenges. But as the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” Leading a sustainable lifestyle and sharing your journey with students will be one of the most powerful ways you can inspire a new generation of environmental stewards and leaders.

Celebrate Earth Day: 8 Easy Ways to Teach Your Child to Go Green

Activities to Go Green

Laura Richards

Laura Richards Headshot

Going green can seem overwhelming but there are simple things you and your kids can do every day to save the environment. Here are eight easy ways to teach your child to go green.

Collect Food for Composting

Going Green Composting

That apple core from lunch? Grape stem after snack? Egg shells after breakfast? Don't throw them away! Teach your kids how composting adds to soil for a future veggie or flower garden that they can help plan. Keep a sealed container under your sink and instruct your kids what is/isn't OK to compost. A great resource for composting guidelines is the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Recycle School Papers

Going Green Stack of Papers

It seems every day kids come home with worksheets and piles of assorted papers. After going through the work with your kids and confirming that they no longer need to keep them, take a paper shopping bag that's too tattered to reuse and have your child put their papers in there to recycle. You can also have a designated bin for paper. Most town recycling takes paper, but many schools, churches and nonprofits have a bin specifically for paper recycling, like Abitibi Paper Retriever .

Conserve Water

Going Green Conserve Water

Most kids don't think twice about keeping the faucet running while brushing their teeth or playing with a hose in the yard. Talk to your kids about what a valuable resource water is, and brainstorm ideas that your whole family can do to help reduce your water waste.For example, try shortening your showers by setting a timer or bathing two little ones at once in the tub. Ask your kids what other ways they can conserve their water use -- they're bound to come up with some great ideas.

Make Saving Electricity a Game

Kids love a challenge, especially when you make it a fun one, and saving electricity is another way to go green while at home. Hand out a sticker every time one of your kids turn off the lights when leaving a room, or try having a night where you don't use any electricity. Making your kids aware that energy is used each time they flip a switch or plug their electronic device in to be charged may make them realize how much electricity they use on a daily basis.

Use Cloth Instead of Paper Goods

Going Green Stack of Washcloths

Another easy way to teach your kids to go green is to encourage the use of cloth instead of paper whenever possible. For example, make sure your bathroom is stocked with clean hand towels instead of paper towels. Same for wiping up messes — having a cloth handy instead of paper goods gives kids the signal that they are preventing another item from entering a landfill. Our family uses cloth napkins at every meal and we just toss them in with our regular laundry.

Do a Neighborhood Cleanup

Take a walk with your kids down your street with a bag and collect any trash you come across. (Make sure to wear rubber gloves!)Turn it into a scavenger hunt by finding as many pieces of trash or bottles as possible. Many families choose Earth Day to do this type of project, but you can do it as often as you like.

Shop at Thrift Stores

Going Green Thrift Shop Sign

Kids love toys and new things. Instead of going to a regular store, try shopping at your local thrift store for toys, books, and clothing. Our kids love finding secondhand treasures and it shows them what awesome finds there are in such places. We've found amazing books, clothing, and toys that were practically new but a fraction of the original cost!

Do a Scavenger Hunt While Shopping

While walking through the supermarket, ask your kids which products have the least amount of packaging. This is a fun and interesting way to help them see that a bag of pretzels is a greener choice than a box of pretzels with a bag inside of the box. Let your kids help choose the items they think have the least packaging, purchase them, and then recycle every part of the product when finished.

Testimonials

The e-learning package is a great tool that equips individuals across the lifespan with the necessary understanding, competencies, principles, and autonomy to confront interrelated worldwide issues such as climate change, biodiversity depletion, unsustainable resource utilisation, and inequity. The video presentations at the beginning of each unit offer an outline of the content in a very appealing and easy-to-grab way. The presentation is very graphic, and the resources, both online and offline, are substantial and offer support for a better understanding of the key concepts.

Mihaela Vataru, Experts in the field of education policies (Romania)

Relevant information is addressed in the e-learning package, together with valuable outline of didactic strategies. The course is adequately structured, with a progressive approach, from a basic contextualization approach about the complexity of sustainability to the didactic approach, from problematized approaches in close and significant contexts, and from interdisciplinarity. The package offers the opportunity to assess its suitability and appropriateness for teacher literacy in sustainability (e.g. by means of a pre-test/post-test).

Unai Ortega, University researcher and professor (Spain)

The E-learning Package deals with urgent issues such as climate change and sustainable development. I think that the course provides teachers of many interesting tools and suggestions to involve actively the classroom in challenging tasks concerning sustainability. Only by reflecting together on the solutions to save our planet and by adopting sustainable ways of life, young people can become aware of the importance of their daily actions to build a better future.

Lisaveta Cerra, Teacher (Italy)

It was great the opportunity to think deeper about issues on sustainable development. Design plans which enable teachers to act on behalf of the Planet balance; finally to make sure that both current and future generations get a good quality of living standard.

What Is the Difference Between Going Green and Sustainability?

Updated: October 19, 2023

Published: April 3, 2020

What-Is-the-Difference-Between-Going-Green-and-Sustainability

Nowadays, it seems like everyone is talking about sustainable living. But they are also talking about going green, being eco-friendly, earth-friendly, and many other buzzwords! How can you know what is the difference between going green and sustainability? We’ll tell you exactly what to know, and how to start living both green and sustainably right now.

Going Green: What Does it Mean and How to Start

“Going green” is all over the news, commercials, our social media feeds, and in stores as well. But just exactly what does going green mean? The better you understand what it means to go green, the better you will be successful at helping to make a difference .

Photo by  Min An  from  Pexels

1. going green: a pr campaign.

“Going green” can be used by some companies as a PR campaign to hide other not-so-earth-friendly practices. They may look at their supply chain and make a few small changes while not looking at the bigger picture.

For example, a clothing company might create a sustainable line of clothing, while neglecting the fact that by being a clothing company in today’s world of fast fashion, they are inherently causing damage to the earth by being a consumption-based company.

However, there are many companies that do try to make a genuine change, and you can too!

2.  Conserve Resources

The earth’s resources are being consumed faster than we can sustain them — the trees that make paper, houses, and furniture, the water we drink, and the natural metals and compounds that create the things we use for living are examples of earth’s resources we use every day. An important part of going green is to conserve resources we consume.

3. Reduce Pollution

In our everyday lives, pollution is a part of living. From the soap that goes down the drain, to the food packaging we throw out, and the gas that is emitted during transportation — we are polluting all day long. Try to become cognizant of times when you are releasing chemicals or products into the environment, and think of ways you can reduce the amounts.

4. Conserve Energy

In recent decades, humankind has come to realize that many of our current energy sources (natural gas, coal, water) are finite. There are also still some issues with sustainability harvesting sunlight as an energy source as well (solar panels contain toxic materials and need to be frequently replaced). The best thing to do for the earth right now is to conserve your energy use overall.

5. Reduce Consumption

Recycling alone just won’t cut it anymore. If you really want to be as green as possible, you need to start by reducing overall consumption.

When purchasing something, ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” Think about if you already have something similar that you can use instead of buying new. If you definitely need something new, see about buying used or borrowing from a friend.

6. Reduce Waste

When you reduce waste, it means using items until you absolutely cannot use them anymore. Ultimately, that means less items end up in the landfill, and there is less need for production of replacement items.

What is Sustainability?

Sustainability can be defined as, “the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.”

Sustainability is about remembering that the earth is made up of finite sources, and taking steps to maintain that the earth will be able to sustain itself over the long-term. It is not just about plants, but also includes the welfare of the global community.

Define Eco-Friendly

Being eco-friendly means thinking about the ecology of the earth and making sure the products you consume, and the practices you keep, have a minimal impact on the earth itself.

Eco-Friendly Products

Many products will be labeled as eco-friendly, but what exactly does that mean?

First of all, the products should be non-toxic. This means that they are made without toxic materials or toxic pesticides and herbicides. Eco-friendly products may be made with recycled materials such as glass, wood, metal, or plastics that have been broken down from a wasted item and reconstituted into something new.

Eco-friendly products should contain ingredients that were sustainably grown or manufactured — which means to be done so with minimal damage to the earth and community where they come from.

Greenwashing

Unfortunately, some companies participate in “ greenwashing ” which is to label a product as “eco-friendly” or “environmentally friendly” without doing due diligence to make sure that is correct.

Other companies may produce “eco-friendly” products to cover up other not eco-friendly practices within the supply chain. To avoid falling for this, make sure to thoroughly research a brand before you buy. Don’t just believe labels unless they are certified statements.

Misconception: Why the Confusion?

Many industries have started noticing their impact of their sourcing, manufacturing, and distributing on the earth. While many companies have traditionally worked towards a sustainable future, they may not have environmentally-friendly or “green” practices.

What Can You Do?

Start with these tips, and you’ll be living greener in no time.

1. Setting Goals

The first step is to set goals for yourself or your organization. Setting goals means that you have something in mind and you take steps to get you there. For example, a goal could be to stop using disposable coffee cups. Start small by bringing your travel mug with you at least once a week, and move up to every day.

Don’t get down if you forget, just try to remember next time! You can start slow by making small changes and work your way up the sustainable, environmentally friendly ladder.

2. The Lifestyle: Living Sustainably

Once you start to learn about all the things you can and should do for sustainable living, it can become overwhelming and you may feel like you could never live fully sustainably. But remember, it is a lifestyle choice and a journey.

You can start small and work your way up to more challenging ways of sustainable living.

3. Reduce Light Usage

Remembering to turn off the lights (or any appliances) when you aren’t using them is an easy way to conserve energy. You can also try to buy energy efficient light bulbs and appliances.

4. Use Less Water

Using less water is another way you can conserve resources and consume less. Turn off the water when you are scrubbing dishes or brushing your teeth. Try taking shorter showers, and avoid unnecessary baths.

5. Drive Less

Use other modes of transportation such as walking or biking instead of taking your car. If you do need a vehicle, try taking public transportation or carpooling to reduce your carbon footprint.

Photo by  Clem Onojeghuo  from  Pexels

Reusing items and products is an integral part of living an environmentally friendly lifestyle. By reusing, you are limiting waste, and reducing a need for further manufacturing of new things.

7. Buy Local

When you buy local, you are not only supporting local farms and businesses, but you are supporting the global environment by reducing shipping fuels from foods and supplies that have to travel long distances.

What is the Difference Between Going Green and Sustainability and Eco-Friendly?

Many people confuse going green, sustainability, and eco-friendly — but the differences between the three aren’t so difficult once you look into it.

Simply put:

  • Going green refers to all aspects of environmentally-friendly products from fashion to buildings to the movement as a whole.
  • Eco-friendly means that a product, practice, or activity won’t harm the environment .
  • Sustainability means that what we do today doesn’t deplete resources for future generations.

Buying Green vs Buying Sustainable

Some products may be considered green due to their makeup, but they may not be considered sustainable due to their production.

For example, a product made from renewable sources such as a wooden hairbrush is considered green, however if a life-cycle analysis of the production process showed that it takes a lot of energy to manufacture and ship and there is no way to properly dispose of the hairbrush when you are finished, it is not sustainable.

Ideally, you should try to find brands and products that are both green and sustainable.

Photo by  Polina Tankilevitch  from  Pexels

Clean vs. nontoxic vs. organic.

This one is also simple once you learn that “clean” means free of chemicals or materials that are synthetic, and are usually natural ingredients only.

Non-toxic means something does not contain chemicals or materials that are harmful to humans or the environment.

Organic means ingredients are grown without pesticides or herbicides. Organic products have a rigid certification process that varies by country, however the other two claims, clean and non-toxic, do not.

Impact on Future Generations

When it comes to impact on future generations, each is just as significant as the other. Without green and eco-friendly products and practices, the earth will suffer; and without sustainable activities, we may deplete resources.

Online University: The Green Way to Study

University of the People is the ultimate green school — as a fully online university, there is no carbon footprint from travel to classes, no energy used to operate facilities, no physical resources used to build buildings, technology, and books. A truly zero-waste way to get a degree!

What is a sustainability project plan?

A sustainability project plan is like a compass guiding us toward a greener and more responsible future. It’s a blueprint, a masterplan, if you will, that spells out precisely how we’re going to make our world a better place.

So, what’s in this grand sustainability strategy?

Executive Summary

Think of this as the teaser to an exciting movie. It gives you a sneak peek into the project’s goals and the fantastic benefits it brings.

Ever heard of the “why” behind a project? Well, this section spills the beans. It explains the problem at hand, the ingenious solution, and why this project is worth every ounce of effort.

Goals and Objectives

In this part, we set the bar high. The goals and objectives are like our North Star, keeping us on track and focused. But they’re not vague; they’re SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Strategies and Actions

This is where the rubber meets the road. It’s a step-by-step guide on how we’re going to make our lofty goals a reality. From the first gear to the last, we’ve got it all planned out.

Timeline and Budget

Every project needs a schedule and some cash to get off the ground. We lay out the start and finish dates, celebrate essential milestones along the way, and tally up the expenses.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Just like a watchful eye, we’re keeping tabs on the project’s progress. We want to ensure it’s not veering off course and that it’s still hitting those SMART goals.

Sustainability project plans are like our treasure maps, showing us the path to a better world. They can apply to all sorts of projects, whether it’s a local community garden or a colossal infrastructure overhaul.

These plans are our way of making sure we leave behind a planet that’s not just habitable but thriving for future generations. Let’s go green! 

What are sustainable ideas?

Sustainable ideas are the cornerstone of a better future, ensuring our needs are met without compromising the well-being of generations yet to come. These ideas encompass environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Here are some sustainable ideas that can make a significant impact:

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Among the most pivotal sustainable ideas is the practice of reducing waste, reusing items whenever possible, and recycling materials. These actions play a crucial role in conserving resources and curbing pollution.

Embrace Renewable Energy

Renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and hydro power, offer sustainability by naturally replenishing themselves. Furthermore, they generate minimal to no greenhouse gas emissions, actively combating climate change.

Prioritize Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency, a sustainable idea, involves achieving the same tasks while using less energy. This is achievable through enhanced insulation, replacing old appliances with energy-efficient models, and implementing smart energy management systems. These practices contribute to resource conservation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Support Sustainable Businesses and Products

By endorsing businesses and products committed to sustainability, we play a pivotal role in nurturing a more sustainable economy.

Look for certifications from reputable third-party organizations like B Corporation or Fairtrade to make informed choices.

Engage with Your Community

There are numerous avenues for active participation in promoting sustainability within your community. Whether volunteering with a local environmental organization, initiating your own sustainability project, or simply initiating conversations with friends and neighbors on sustainability’s importance, your efforts can lead to meaningful change.

Every small action taken in line with these sustainable ideas collectively paves the way for a brighter future, not just for ourselves but for the generations that follow.

Conclusion: Embrace the Green Revolution

In closing, sustainability project ideas are the foundation for a brighter and more eco-conscious world. They represent the innovative paths to safeguard our planet, strengthen our communities, and ensure long-term economic stability.

By trimming waste, adopting renewable energy, championing energy efficiency, supporting businesses committed to sustainability, and actively engaging with our local neighborhoods, we take meaningful strides toward a sustainable tomorrow.

These ideas embolden us to meet the present’s needs without jeopardizing the prospects of future generations.

As we pursue sustainability, each modest shift we make radiates outward, casting a profound impact that reverberates through time, benefiting countless generations.

It’s not just a commitment to living in harmony with our Earth; it’s an investment in the well-being of all its inhabitants.

James Rodgers

Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin Paperback – May 18, 2023

Purchase options and add-ons.

The story of western correspondents in Russia is the story of Russia's attitude to the west. Russia has at different times been alternately open to western ideas and contacts, cautious and distant or, for much of the twentieth century, all but closed off. From the revolutionary period of the First World War onwards, correspondents in Russia have striven to tell the story of a country known to few outsiders. Their stories have not always been well received by political elites, audiences, and even editors in their own countries-but their accounts have been a huge influence on how the West understands Russia. Not always perfect, at times downright misleading, they have, overall, been immensely valuable. In Assignment Moscow , former foreign correspondent James Rodgers analyses the news coverage of Russia throughout history, from the coverage of the siege of the Winter Palace and a plot to kill Stalin, to the Chernobyl explosion and the Salisbury poison scandal.

Editorial Reviews

“ Assignment Moscow exposes how the Moscow correspondent has had to adapt to multiple manifestations of censorship, or compete with state-run media, the severity of which has ebbed and flowed with changes in regime.” ― History Today “Rodgers's narrative rests on an enormous number of articles in Anglo-American media, books by and about journalists, and his own interviews with many Moscow correspondents.” ― Foreign Affairs Magazine “Rodgers retains his focus on the correspondent's interactions with Russia and Russians, rather than being sidetracked into discussions of normative values or political controversy. This approach prepares the reader for the conclusion, which celebrates the openness and curiosity of the best Russia correspondents, reminding the reader that what they have just read is a history not of Russia but of how Western correspondents have told Russia's stories. Differentiating the two is an important and hitherto neglected task but one that James Rodgers has achieved masterfully.” ― Journalism “Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world's biggest country.” ― Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist “Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” ― Rodric Braithwaite “A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” ― Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize “It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn't have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” ― James Nixey, Chatham House “[Rodgers'] experience has been wisely distilled in this fair-minded, balanced and perceptive exploration of the problems reporters have faced in trying to report from Russia.” ― British Journalism Review “Reveals how journalists' experiences reporting from Russia for the past 100 years mirrors its changing attitude to the West.” ― The Journalist

Aloha State governor keeps 1500 Native Hawaiians connected to phone, internet

In a dramatic last-minute intervention, Democratic Hawaii Governor Josh Green issued an Emergency Proclamation last weekend. The proclamation aimed to prevent a local communications provider from cutting off phone and internet services to approximately 1,500 Native Hawaiian households on land trusts across the state.

The state Public Utilities Commission ordered Sandwich Isles Communications (SIC) not to cut phone and internet service. The executive action was taken after the company sent a note to customers on May 30 that service would abruptly end on June 1. SIC founder Al Hee blamed the decision on ongoing financial problems and the inability to pay off a $150 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Green stressed the importance of delivering essential services to Hawaiian homesteads. “We must ensure that our communities remain connected to critical services, including emergency medical, police, and fire services,” the governor stated. Providers have a responsibility to maintain services for their customers.

PUC Chair Leo Asuncion condemned the abrupt loss of service and its potential impact on the community. “In line with the Emergency Proclamation issued by Gov. Green, the commission is concerned that [SIC] may be engaging in conduct that is detrimental to the public interest .”

The commission’s intervention was necessary, according to Asuncion, because SIC had failed to provide the required timely notice of its intent to discontinue service, as mandated by commission regulations. The hastily rolled-out plan to end operations would’ve left many Native Hawaiian households, businesses, schools, and other institutions disconnected from vital communication services.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

Hee confirmed compliance with the PUC’s order and did not proceed with the planned shutdown. In an email to Broadband Breakfast , the telecom's founder explained the company’s dire financial situation and called for assistance from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Hawaii regulators.

“Thank you for your efforts. Although clearly well intended, they may be misplaced unless the PUC is able to fairly compensate SIC for continuing service,” Hee said.

Since May 24, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), which contracts with SIC to provide communication services to Hawaiian homelands, has advised customers to consider alternative providers like Hawaiian Telcom, Charter Communications, Starlink, and Dish.

The commission set a hearing for June 17.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 10 , "Life, Itself" was quickly reconfigured from just Discovery season 5's finale into Discovery 's series finale after Paramount+ ended the show's run. Principal photography for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 had been completed, so additional scenes were created for "Life, Itself" as an epilogue to Star Trek: Discovery that helps clarify what happens to Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Cleveland Booker (David Ajala), and Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman).

Star Trek: Discovery 's epilogue serves as a proper send-off for Burnham, Book, and Tilly, but doesn't mention what has happened to the rest of Star Trek: Discovery 's main characters in the decades since the events of Star Trek: Discovery season 5. While the rest of Discovery 's characters aren't name checked in the epilogue, Star Trek: Discovery 's series finale still offers insight as to what happens to the crew of the USS Discovery and Star Trek: Discovery season 5 antagonist, Moll (Eve Harlow), after the search for the Progenitors' technology is over.

Star Trek: Discovery Showrunner Answers The Series Finale's Burning Questions

Screen Rant interviews Star Trek: Discovery showrunner Michelle Paradise about the biggest questions left behind by the series finale.

Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green)

Admiral michael burnham leaves a lasting starfleet legacy.

Star Trek: Discovery is, first and foremost, the story of Michael Burnham's redemption, so it's fitting that Burnham is also the focus of Star Trek: Discovery 's epilogue. About 30 years after Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Admiral Michael Burnham lives a contented, comfortable life with her husband, Cleveland Booker , on Sanctuary Four. Burnham and Book have a son, Captain Leto Burnham (Sawandi Wilson), who arrives at the Burnham-Booker home to escort Admiral Burnham to the USS Discovery. There, Admiral Burnham commands Zora's (Annabelle Wallis) final mission: a Red Directive that sets up the Star Trek: Short Treks episode "Calypso".

Following Star Trek: Discovery season 5's search for the Progenitors' technology, Captain Michael Burnham continues her Starfleet career as Captain of the USS Discovery . Michael and Book reconcile their strained relationship, committing to one another in a quiet moment away from the reception for Saru and T'Rina's wedding. Burnham is entrusted with the infinity key that links to Dr. Kovich (David Cronenberg), so Kovich can call on Burnham to command sensitive Red Directive missions, one of which is teased in a scene that would have closed Star Trek: Discovery season 5.

Ambassador Saru (Doug Jones)

"action" saru marries ni'var president t'rina.

Captain Saru grows over the course of Star Trek: Discovery 's 5 seasons from a profoundly fearful character into a commanding presence, and in the end, displays the talents of "Action" Saru , both in physical prowess and tense diplomatic negotiations. In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Saru becomes a Federation Ambassador, where Saru's empathy and origin as a pre-warp Kelpien are instrumental in how Saru approaches his duty to the Federation . As an Ambassador, Saru represents the voices of newer, smaller planets seeking entry to the Federation.

After two seasons of courtship, Saru's Star Trek: Discovery character arc comes to a close with Saru's wedding to Ni'Var President T'Rina (Tara Rosling). Saru and T'Rina both respect each other's lives of duty and service to their people, so Saru and T'Rina continue their services as Ambassador and President of Ni'Var, respectively , and presumably spend their lives together.

Saru received a Starfleet promotion to Admiral in Star Trek: Discovery 's finale, as confirmed by Admiral Charles Vance (Oded Fehr) at Saru and T'Rina's wedding.

Commander Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie)

Rayner remains discovery's first officer.

In the original plans for Star Trek: Discovery season 6, Commander Rayner was intended to continue as the USS Discovery's First Officer, following up with the success of his teamwork between Captain Burnham. As it stands, Rayner's character arc in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 showed immense capacity for growth , especially when Rayner rightfully took the captain's chair in Burnham's absence within the Progenitors' portal. Having earned the respect of Starfleet under Burnham's command, Rayner is likely to follow Burnham's example and work his way back up to being a Starfleet captain after being dismissed at the rank of Commander.

Commander Rayner's redemption doesn't come at the cost of Rayner's personality; instead, by opening himself up to possibilities and other people's opinions, Rayner comes up with creative solutions where all of Discovery's crew can work together. To that end, Commander Rayner is a likely candidate to help usher in Starfleet Academy's mentorship program, spearheaded by Lt. Sylvia Tilly.

It's worth noting that Commander Rayner didn't exact revenge for the Breen's destruction of Kellerun by destroying the Breen dreadnought, but instead incited a Breen version of Star Trek: Voyager by banishing them to the galactic barrier.

Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp)

Stamets learns to enjoy the process.

Commander Paul Stamets is already held in high regard as a "Scientific Luminary" who invented the USS Discovery's spore drive, which was on the table as an alternative to warp drive in the 32nd century. To Stamets' dismay, Starfleet discontinues research into outfitting its future vessels with spore drives, instead putting resources into the pathway drive as a warp alternative . Believing his work no longer matters to the future, Stamets spends Star Trek: Discovery season 5 devoted to the search for the Progenitors' technology, but reconsiders what it actually means to be remembered when the Progenitors' technology is classified like the spore drive was in the 23rd century.

Commander Stamets leaves Star Trek: Discovery with more patience and kindness, largely thanks to Paul's fierce bonds with his husband, Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz), and their child, Adira Tal (Blu del Barrio). Stamets' new scientific approach favors genuine curiosity and exploration instead of hyper-focusing on practical applications.

Paul Stamets wasn't among the Star Trek: Discovery characters who were name-checked in the Star Trek: Discovery epilogue, but because the USS Discovery made one last jump, there's a chance Stamets may have been aboard.

Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz)

Culber's spiritual journey continues.

Dr. Hugh Culber truly came into his own over the course of Star Trek: Discovery , going from a minor character in Discovery season 1 to an integral part of the USS Discovery crew in Star Trek: Discovery season 3, when Culber took on the responsibility of maintaining the crew's mental health as the ship's counselor.

Dr. Culber's character arc in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 focuses on Culber's spiritual journey, which is still unresolved at the end of Star Trek: Discovery 's series finale. If Hugh is part of a Star Trek: Discovery continuation , Culber's research into the intersection of faith and science remains a potential thread to tug on, but it's also fitting that Hugh Culber's attempt to reconcile science and spirituality remains a mystery . With a newfound spiritual path, Hugh Culber is primed to continue guiding Starfleet officers in both clinical and spiritual health.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5's Best Surprise Is Book And Culbers Friendship

Friendship is vitally important in Star Trek: Discovery, and it's been a joy to watch Cleveland Booker and Dr. Culber become friends during season 5.

Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman)

Tilly makes starfleet academy history.

In Star Trek: Discovery series finale's epilogue, Sylvia Tilly is the longest-tenured instructor at Starfleet Academy , and is still teaching new students. Professor Tilly doesn't physically appear, but dialogue reveals that Admiral Michael Burnham is still in contact with Tilly in the decades since the main events of Star Trek: Discovery season 5. Tilly's status as an influential Starfleet Academy teacher is a strong hint that Tilly should be in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy , the upcoming Star Trek show that continues the story of rebuilding Starfleet in the 32nd century with a whole crop of new cadets.

Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly begins her tenure as a Starfleet Academy instructor after Star Trek: Discovery season 4, and returns to the USS Discovery to assist in the search for the Progenitors' technology in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. With renewed confidence, Tilly goes back to Starfleet Academy ready to begin a mentorship program that's inspired by the beneficial one-on-one relationships between Captain Burnham and Commander Rayner, and Lt. Tilly's own mentorship of Ensign Adira Tal.

Ensign Adira Tal (Blu del Barrio)

Adira inspires starfleet academy changes.

Throuhgout Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Ensign Adira Tal spends more time on the bridge of the USS Discovery, and finds newfound confidence on their own after breaking up with boyfriend Gray Tal (Ian Alexander) in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 3, "Jinaal". The influence of Trill symbiont Tal is less apparent as Adira figures out an independent identity, but still sometimes shines when Adira dispenses nuggets of wisdom.

It wouldn't be surprising to see the teenaged Adira follow Tilly to the Star Trek: Discovery spinoff.

Lt. Sylvia Tilly cites working with Ensign Tal as a primary inspiration for spearheading Starfleet Academy's new mentorship program, so there's a wide open space for Adira Tal to visit Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as an example of Tilly's successful mentoring . With Star Trek: Starfleet Academy aimed at a younger demographic, it wouldn't be surprising to see the teenaged Adira follow Tilly to the Star Trek: Discovery spinoff.

Why Star Treks "Incredibly Optimistic" Next Show Is Set In Discoverys Timeline Explained By Executive Producer

Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman explains why Starfleet Academy, the next Star Trek series, will be set in Discovery's 32nd century era.

Cleveland Booker (David Ajala)

Book ensures kwejian's memory lives on.

At Saru and T'Rina's wedding, Cleveland Booker reveals to Michael Burnham that Book's sentence was commuted, freeing Book to offer his services as an independent contractor or courier to whomever he pleases. Electing to remain with Michael, Book and Grudge accompany the USS Discovery's future missions for the foreseeable future.

In Star Trek: Discovery 's epilogue, Book is comfortably married to Admiral Michael Burnham. Book and Michael's son, Captain Leto Burnham, is named for Book's nephew who perished when Kwejian was destroyed by the DMA in Star Trek: Discovery season 4. Leto is a Starfleet captain like his mother, but is "his father's son" in temperament. Book acts as steward for the wild creatures of Sanctuary Four, where Book planted the Kwejian World Root obtained from the Eternal Gallery & Archive in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 8 , "Labyrinths".

Moll (Eve Harlow)

Moll receives a special federation assignment.

At the end of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Moll is in a difficult place, having lost her Breen paramour L'ak (Elias Toufexis) and any potential power Moll might have gained within the structure of the Breen Imperium after L'ak's death. Because Moll killed Breen Primarch Ruhn (Tony Nappo), Moll may actually have a price on her head that forces Moll to seek political asylum with the Federation , despite the bad taste Moll has clearly expressed for the Federation.

Seeing potential in Moll, the Federation's Dr. Kovich (David Cronenberg) has a special assignment in mind for Moll. No further details were given about Moll's special assignment, but because Kovich is the 32nd century identity for Star Trek: Enterprise 's Agent Daniels, it's likely that Moll will be recruited as a time agent under Kovich's orders . That may set up the possibility of Moll appearing in the upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 movie or Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

The USS Discovery Bridge Crew

Where do star trek: discovery's bridge officers go.

While not often considered Star Trek: Discovery 's main characters, several members of the USS Discovery bridge crew have nonetheless become close to our hearts over Discovery 's 5 seasons. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced several new 32nd century bridge officers who would likely remain on the USS Discovery if Star Trek: Discovery had been renewed for season 6. Here's where the original Discovery bridge crew members are at the end of Star Trek: Discovery season 5 :

None of Star Trek: Discovery 's main characters are in the same emotional place at the end of Discovery 's series finale as they were when Star Trek: Discovery started. Important events on a galactic scale and the USS Discovery's leap into the 32nd century weren't just brushed off, but remain a part of Star Trek: Discovery 's characters, who were fundamentally altered by their incredibly transformative experiences. The generally positive endings of these characters' journeys over the course of 5 seasons are emblematic of Star Trek: Discovery 's own journey towards optimism and hope, resulting in a lasting legacy for Star Trek: Discovery overall.

Jason Gore, Jay Green seek ‘normalcy’ at American Family Insurance Championship

Gore debut is first tournament since Grayson Murray tragedy for caddie Green

Change Text Size

Every golf shot asks a question, and every tournament invites a series of them.

There will be one abiding sentiment, however, for Jason Gore and Jay Green, player and caddie, respectively, at this week’s American Family Insurance Championship:

What was this life I led, and what will it feel like to go back to it?

Gore, who turned 50 last month, is making his PGA TOUR Champions debut. He’s the winner of a record seven Korn Ferry Tour titles and the 2005 84 LUMBER Classic on the PGA TOUR, where he now serves in an administrative role as Chief Player Officer and no longer competes.

Jason Gore wins 2010 Miccosukee Championship

“I just felt like it was the right thing to do; it felt right to have Jay here,” Gore said. “We’ll both be nervous, for me just because it’s been a long time, and he’s just a young kid who had something awful happen. It’ll be good for both of us.

“Hopefully we’ll keep it all in perspective,” he continued, “and it’ll be a good healing process for him. It’s been an emotional two days. I’m spent.”

Added Green, fresh off of three memorial services for his friend, “It’s only been a couple days, but it feels like a month. We’ve both said this is exactly what we need, just some normalcy.”

Murray was open about his struggles with depression and alcohol but seemed to be on a better trajectory after his victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. He was sober and building a supportive community around him, and his death, after he’d withdrawn in the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge, has devastated his family and that of the PGA TOUR itself.

Everyone has been ground under repair since then. A rolling celebration of Murray’s life began with Green carrying his staff bag onto the first tee at the Korn Ferry Tour event at Raleigh Country Club on Sunday, when Murray was announced as the day’s honorary last tee time. His parents, Eric and Terry Murray, plus brother Cameron Murray and sister Erica Robinson, were there, as were several others, including Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin, who spoke.

A more formal remembrance came Monday at Raleigh’s Providence Church, and then came the Tuesday ceremony at Muirfield Village and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, where world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was among the speakers, as was PGA TOUR commissioner Jay Monahan. In the middle of all that, on Monday night, Gore got a phone call.

Nate Pokrass, the tournament director of the American Family Insurance Championship, had just learned that Scott Verplank had withdrawn, leaving an open spot. Did Gore, who made 132 cuts in his PGA TOUR career, want to come to Madison, Wisconsin, as a sponsor exemption?

“It was 4:51 p.m. Monday,” Gore said. “I said, ‘When do you need to know?’ He said, ‘In nine minutes.’ I said, ‘Hang on. Let me call my wife.’”

A married father of two, Gore had thought he was going to be with family and friends in New Jersey. (He used to work for the USGA.) His Los Angeles Dodgers would be in town playing the New York Yankees, and he had planned to go to a game, most likely with good seats, given his friendship with Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe. (Both belonged to Hamilton Farm G.C.)

All of those plans would have to wait, though, because when it comes to golf, Gore said, “I’m a complete sicko. I love the game. My wife asked if I wanted to go, and I said of course I do.”

With her blessing, Gore now had to figure out logistics. He had his golf bag, fortunately, since he had planned on going from Ohio to the U.S. Open. But he did not have a caddie, nor did he have enough golf balls or gloves, and he also needed new grips. He wasn’t geared up in terms of shoes and clothing, either, but would figure it out on the fly, and in the equipment trucks.

For a caddie, he looked to Green.

“I kind of knew him but not really,” Gore said. “We really just met Monday, and I was like, I want this guy to loop for me. I texted him: ‘How many clothes did you bring?’ He said he’d brought a few outfits. I was like, ‘Do you want to caddie on the Champions Tour this week?’

“He’s like, ‘For who?’ ‘For me, dude! I just got a sponsor exemption!’ Getting back to normalcy will be good for him. I’ll hit a bad shot and it’s just golf, man.”

Green, who is married and lives in Jacksonville, Florida, was anticipating going home to his native Alma, Michigan, outside of Lansing, in order to grieve, organize his thoughts, and figure out his next move. He said yes immediately to the prospect of getting back to work.

“I think that’s what Grayson would want, what his family would want,” Green said. “I don’t know Jason’s game. I know he’s long. He and I have talked about our motto, which is zero expectations . He’s been practicing, getting ready for the Senior Open. It’s not like he hasn’t played in five years. I saw some good things today while we were practicing.”

Next week, Gore will be back at North Carolina’s Pinehurst No. 2, where he played in the last group Sunday with Retief Goosen at the 2005 U.S. Open but shot 84 and finished T49.

It was still his career highlight.

“When they announced my name on Sunday, the roar of the crowd, just took me aback,” he said. “They were basically sitting on top of you on that first tee. It was just overwhelming.

“It was a very memorable day because I learned so much,” he continued. “I don’t think I would have won four out of the next seven or eight tournaments I played without that day.”

Playing this week, he added, will mean getting over a 3-foot putt that means something. He does not figure to play much else other than the Senior Open presented by Rolex, July 25-28.

As it happens, Murray asked if Green was “a watch guy” on the Tuesday of the Sony in January. Green said he was and had designed the very Rolex he coveted on the company’s website.

“Sure enough, after we won, we were heading back to the hotel and Grayson said, ‘Jay gets a Rolex,’” Green said. “Two weeks later at Pebble Beach, he gave me that exact Rolex that I’d wanted. He was incredibly genuine, cared about me, asked questions about me, and was very adamant that my wife come to tournaments and travel.

“He’s like, ‘I’ll buy flights, I just want her there supporting you,’” Green continued.

All of it was a gift; most of it was unplanned. Green played golf for Division II Tiffin University in Ohio, then hoped to go to dental school but didn’t get in. Tapping his connections, he got a job working for Will Gordon on the Korn Ferry and PGA TOUR. A mutual friend connected Green to Murray in December, and they started together at the Sony, winning immediately.

Murray’s passing, the golf world’s loss, is sure to come up this week, and that’s fine. It will be a comfort, though, for Green and Gore to be able to focus on something as normal as golf.

Well, that and whether or not they will run out of clothes.

“I think Jason got ahold of someone from Peter Millar,” Green said, “who is going to be sending us both a little care package because we both weren’t expecting this.”

Gore, whose wife and son will watch him play in Wisconsin while his daughter rides horses with friends in New Jersey, will be fine with whatever happens this week. He’s almost more focused on Green being OK. They flew up together, are staying at the same hotel and will likely eat together, too, for there is strength in numbers, and Gore was always tight with his caddies.

Life goes on. Golf connects us all. You get the sense that Murray would approve.
