Beginning in 2000, the Solar Living Institute has Earth Day for Kids at The
Solar
Living Center during the spring. Each year, 300-500 third, fourth and fifth
graders and
their
teachers
from Mendocino, Lake, and Sonoma Counties have attended. From hydrogen fuel cells
and coyote stories to power pedaling and solar cookie baking, the students learn
about renewable energy, eco-responsibility and their interdependence with the
environment. The event is a fun-filled and inspirational day for all.
Teachers
and students around the world promote Earth Day by getting involved in worthwhile
school and community projects which emphasize the protection, conservation,
restoration, reuse, recycling and enhancement of our natural resources. During
Earth Day for
Kids at the Solar Living Institute, students and teachers have the opportunity
to learn about renewable energy, ecological design and sustainable living.
