The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a helpful resource for children to learn more about environmental issues.
A colorful cartoon that is easy to navigate leads visitors through different sections of how-to and other insightful information. There are sections with curriculum resources for teachers, an educational center for high school students, and fun interactive activities for kids of all ages (and their parents.) For now though kids club membership is limited to U.S. residents - but anyone can take a click through the site.

If you don’t want the British government to start building a new generation of nuclear power stations, or replace the aging Trident nuclear missiles with newer weapons of mass destruction, it’s time to speak up. Katharine Hamnett has a message for us that I feel needs to be passed on:
HOW TO STOP TRIDENT
Marching doesn’t work. T-shirts don’t work. Letters do work.
Here is a suggestion of the letter you could write.
Dear
As a member of your constituency I do not want the British Government to go with a new generation of nuclear power stations nor do I want them to replace Trident. According to Matrix Chambers it would be a breach of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. It would also set a bad example to other countries.
I would rather the money for Trident was spent on education, hospitals and housing.
I would rather that they invested the money that they would be spending on nuclear power in Renewables instead.
I would like a reply to tell me what activities you will embark on to make sure that they do this.
I will not vote for you in the next election unless you represent my views on these matters to the British Parliament.
Yours,
Or download it. Post it in a hand addressed envelope (they always look at these). Or write your own.
Tell your local MP you don’t want Nuclear Power or Trident. Ask for a reply (which you are entitled to by law if you ask for it). Include your mailing address. Tell them you won’t vote for them next time if they do not represent your views.
Write now. Letters need to be in by 13 March 2007. The day before the vote in the House of Commons on Trident.

Time’s running out, so do it now, please!

If you’re even the teensiest bit cross with the Duke of Cambridge organic pub for being closed for the past two and a half weeks, they’re about to make it up to you. The pub will reopen tomorrow, and there’s 50% off the entire wine list for all those having a meal for at least two people, including champagne!
Duke of Cambridge organic pub, 30 St Peter’s Street, Islington.
