This whole week is special
You may know that Earth Day is coming soon (April 22) but do you also realize this is National Environmental Education Week? Well it is, according to the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation. The organization launched what it hoped would become the largest organized environmental education event in U.S. history. The program is intended to increase the educational impact of Earth Day by creating a full week of educational preparation, learning and activities in K-12 classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums, and aquariums. It is a little late now to prepare for National Environmental Education Week 2006 but a good thing to put on your calendar for next year. In the meantime, you might want to check out what the site has to say about Nature-Deficit Disorder. Do you have it? Take their survey and find out.
