I explored just one of the many lesson plans listed here--"Religion and the Environment in China."  This lesson is based on a 20-minute documentary produced in western China.  The authors of the film presented evidence that in recent generations, communism and atheism have been connected to a careless attitute towards the environment.  They gave examples where a return to traditional culture and religion--specifically Buddhism--has been linked to a movement towards conservation of habitats for wildlife.  They depicted that the government, which up to now has opposed spirituality as being superstitious and useless, is now considering that spiritual connections motivate people to care more and work to preserve the environment, and that is a good thing.
