Climate change for kids
Great article about making An Inconvenient Truth more kid friendly. It sounds like exciting things are happening. One concern to at least be aware of: there are studies that show if we hit kids (before 6th grade) too hard with environmental problems, they learn the facts, understand the issues are important, but don't become more environmentally active. Instead, they may be overwhelmed. Younger kids may best be served by following the lead of Rachel Carson and building a sense of wonder and love for the earth.
