If you're a teacher, click the For Teachers link to find ideas about how to work nature ideas into even your most ho-hum lesson plan.
If you want to connect with some great environmental groups online, or start your own project, click the Projects & Links selection.
And to download activities, crosswords, coloring pages, or nature quizzes to fill a few free moments and remember your love of the earth, click the Downloads link.
Finally, to write a Love Letter to the earth, click Send a Love Letter. (We hope lots of you click this link because we can't wait to read them! We'll post every single one we receive on the Love Letters from You page. We promise!)
Who Is This Site For?
This is a simple little site with a big heart. Mostly, it's for
You. Because you are the one who smells a flower and sneezes. Who splashes in a mud puddle sometimes. Who catches a frog and scares your friend.
Your mom and dad. Because they love the earth a lot even though sometimes it seems like they have to mow the grass and trim the bushes when they'd rather be catching frogs with you.
Your grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles. Because they all grew up loving trees and running from hornets and listening to birds singing in the morning.
Your dog and cat. Because they breathe the same air, walk on the same ground, and see the same stars and moon that you do.
The spider crawling up your wall right now. (Especially him, because he's hoping you won't squish him.)
The tree growing in your backyard. Because it does really wonderful things for you like help clean your air and give you shade and shelter. (And it wants to be appreciated because, well, who doesn't?)
Your teacher, principal, superintendent, and King of the Whole School Galaxy. Because a healthy world is a happy world, and the people in your school are all about creating a better future for you and working together to make good things happen.
