Kid's Finding It's Cool to Care about their Planet

Santa Rosa, CA --August 23, 2007

It’s cool to care about Planet Earth. And even cooler to take action. This summer and fall thousands of young people are getting just that message delivered directly to their classrooms. The Earth Explore Foundation is providing "Cool to Care" posters to schools throughout the nation...giving kids ideas and advice on how to get involved in cleaning up, and protecting Planet Earth.

Getting young people to turn off their video screens and venture into nature has long been the mission of the California-based Earth Explore Foundation, whose environmental adventure programs challenge students and teachers to dive into diverse earth environments, and come away changed for the better.

“We believe learning has to touch the hand to reach the mind,” says Earth Explore director Karl Van Amburg. “Once kids connect to nature, understanding leads to commitment and then action.”

In the past decade the organization has assembled an impressive list of destinations, ranging from the Big Island of Hawaii, to the Northern Rockies, to Yosemite and Monterey. New programs take students and their teachers to Belize to study jaguars, to Italy to research Vesuvius, and to Alaska to walk on receding glaciers.

Earth Explore hopes its Cool to Care classroom poster will continue to fly out the door and onto the walls of America's classrooms, inspiring young people to take charge of their destinies, by taking care of their Planet.
