Kids' Energy Links

As we fill up our calendars with back-to-school events, outfit our children with backpacks, new school clothes, and assorted reading and writing tools, we might take just a little time to also talk energy with them. Kids today are more aware of environmental challenges than perhaps any generation before. Empower them to understand how our choices affect the future by teaching them some of the basics of energy production and usage, including how not to use more than you need. You'll probably learn something yourself in the process!

The following links looked good to us (though we are in no way advocating for these organizations or businesses or implying that we agree with every statement that might be found on their websites). Take a little time to explore these with your child. And have fun in the last few weeks of summer!
