museum emerged from

environmental art and from seeing firsthand some the challenges facing
artists,
community groups, nonprofit organizations and arts institutions when it
comes to
presenting and discussing environmental art. More than just a museum,
organizers say it represents a giant collaborative art
making tool.

Resources for Teachers and Students:
Visit EPA's Teacher Resources and Tools page and find out how you can
help teach kids about waste management!
Students,
teachers, administrators, and environmental activists have
found ways to integrate knowledge and awareness of Earth's fragility
into class work and community service, carefully blending concern with
action to help kids feel engaged and hopeful. At Edutopia, they try to
do the same
with their
Go Green Database.
It is
a directory where you can search by topic, grade level, cost, or
location. Your contributions and comments are also encouraged and
welcomed.
Get your kids involved in saving the planet! Check out games and
activities for the whole family, while learning earth-friendly
