Most children's understanding of the relationship between humans and the environment is likely limited to knowing the need to recycle soda cans and not litter. Now a vanguard of teachers and other professionals are working to promote environmental health education as a more global paradigm for teaching a variety of subjects from science and health to language arts and social studies (NIEHS News, p. A806; Focus, p. A814). The result may be smarter, healthier, and more environmentally astute kids.
