Nissan launches Eco School with Mississippi Children’s Museum ahead of Earth Hour

The Nissan Sustainability team today launched an educational program called Nissan Eco School at the Mississippi Children’s Museum in Jackson, Mississippi. The pilot program is inspired by a global Nissan initiative called “Waku Waku,” meaning “joy,” which has brought educational programming focused on sustainability to students in Japan since 2008.

Nissan Eco School is an after-school event for second and third grade students from the Jackson Public Schools district, supported by three employees from Nissan’s Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant, each of whom leads a hands-on module from the Eco School curriculum. The approximately 90-minute program includes lessons on water, recycling and energy conservation, including a take-home workbook.
