NRDC's The Green Squad

The National Resource Defense Council is the one of the nation's most effective environmental action organizations. They developed an interactive guide for kids to look for ways to improve their schools. It is similar to CNT Energy’s Energy Savers program that performs multi-family residential building audits in the Chicago area. However, this puts the tools in the hands of the students.

The Green Squad teaches kids about the relationship between their schools and environmental and health issues. The site is designed primarily for students in fifth through eighth grade, but also offers information for younger and older students as well as parents and teachers.
