In our media-saturated culture, Media Literacy is a necessary skill to navigate the 21st century.  Students can gain these media literacy skills through the Global Johnny Appleseed Project in a number of ways.

Students must learn how to analyze, evaluate, critique and produce multiple media messages.  They must learn that they can have a voice and make a difference by using the tools available to them today.  These include not only web sites, blogs, virtual classroom project, television production, radio production, filmmaking, but print.

An interesting web page that may inspire many teens is Hollywood's Top 15 Green Celebrities.  These are celebrities that the students know and admire.  This page provides information on a myriad of examples of projects for protecting the planet.  They should inspire some ideas for you and students in gaining media literacy, using the media to create and sustain change, and to join or begin a service learning project.
