Growing Up Green: Presentations for Kids
Grades K - 8: Coming Soon!
When it comes to protecting the environment, no one has more to lose than those who will inherit the planet that we leave behind. We believe that children understand this and want a healthy environment for themselves and the wildlife that they love. Building on this desire, we educate children about the many ways that we depend on natural systems, as well as the many ways that we alter these systems. We also emphasize that natural systems are all connected and that when human activity affects one natural system, others are affected as well. The result is engaging, comprehensive environmental education to help our children become thoughtful, responsible consumers.
Grades 9 - 12 
With the high school audience, we focus on the environmental impacts of consumer behavior. Specifically, we look at just how the choices we make in the areas of transportation, food, home & garden, solid waste and household toxics affect the environment.
As budding consumers, teenagers represent the perfect audience 
for these presentations because they are just beginning to make consumer decisions on their own. The goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge now so that down the road, when it's time to buy a car or a home, the enviromental impacts of these major purchases will be considered. In the meantime, students will be encouraged to reduce the impacts of their day-to-day activities and purchases, with the overall goal being that they will adopt a more sustainable lifestyle that will be passed on to their children and grandchildren.
