Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor. pdboyer Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:25:23 GMT http://www.scholastic.com/actgreen/ Scholastic.com's Act Green site.

This case study explores the environmental effects associated with the production, consumption, and recycling related to bottled water. Students learn about state and federal regulations associated with the extraction of ground water and its potential impact on the environment, identify potential safety hazards with drinking water, and become aware of the economic and ecological costs of drinking water that has been bottled. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:24:58 GMT http://codegreen.ps41.org/Homepage.html Home page for PS41 in NYC who's going green with a green roof-top garden and "GELL", their Greenroof Environmental Learning Laboratory.

The primary goal of the game is to keep Greenville's population healthy and happy for one fictional year.   As the population grows, so does the demand for shelter and resources.  Players must collect resources such as Food, Water, and Energy from the area around Greenville.  These resources are used to build and upgrade structures in Greenville such as a Town Hall, Housing Co-Op, or Water Filtration Plant.  Resources can also be traded at the Market and spent on helpful Advisory Groups such as a Volunteer workforce, Arts Council, or Farmers Union.
