It isn't that kids don't want to become involved in their environment its usually that they have not been given the education or resources. However they are now being taught much more about this in school and they are becoming much more adept at recycling and not polluting in some ways.
There is another way though that recently come about that is really helping the kids to become involved. First there is a site where the kids can go to become crusaders for the environment. Its a mix of a make believe world and reality. A group of talking animals have become commanders for the environment and the kids pick which commander's group they want to join, then they become crusaders. The youngsters then complete assignments where they get to earn badges and have their own page on the site to display them. Its great fun for them and they are learning to take care of their planet.
Its at animalsgoinggreen.com Then the second is a new collection of animals going green series books. There are two versions of the each book. One is a short version for the little tots who don't quite have the attention span for long reads yet, and then there is a standard version as well.
Little programs like this will go a long way in helping the kids to become involved. Its one thing to educate them about the here and now but we need to get them to form a habit of caring for their earth so they will carry this with them into their future.
