The Take Action SC Partnership encourages and promotes environmental education across South Carolina. This unique group of state agencies, colleges and schools, as well as other environmental organizations, believes that education is key in protecting and preserving the environment for future generations. The partnership encourages teachers and students to explore environmental issues, engage in problem-solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, they will develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions.
