Going Green 101

Do you know why it is so important we conserve all of earth's valuable resources?  Going Green 101 uses fun, interactive games to teach students about the importance of resource conservation and the three R's - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.  Meet an animal who is affected by our impact on the environment.  Students will have fun while being empowered with simple ways they can personally contribute to creating a healthy environment for generations to come.
