Interactive Green Kids Website – Clean Air Club for Kids
January 8, 2009 by Jennifer
I just got a heads up about a cool new club for earth-loving kids. The Clean Air Club, is an interactive website that helps to teach kids about the importance of protecting their environment. The club (and website) are appropriate for kiddos 14 and under.
The club was started by Cook-Illinois Corporation, the nation’s largest independently owned and operated school bus company. Recently, Cook-Illinois Corporation made some eco-changes to their company; they switched most of their fleet of 1,700 schools buses to bio-diesel fuel. This switch reduces around 1000 tons of toxic emissions in Chicago.
About the club – perks for kids:
- Any kid under 14 can join nationwide, not just Chicago youth.
- All members receive a free gift for joining plus a quarterly newsletter.
- Kids who join up can enter to win prizes for writing essays.
- There are lots of cool kid-friendly learning materials at the site about bio-diesel plus games and activities.
About that killer bus above:
The Clean Air Club Bus, is a recycled school bus, created by Cook-Illinois Corporation. It travels to local Chicago area schools to share hands-on, interactive exhibits with kids.
Get your littles online, and head over to the new Clean Air Club to learn more.
