Earth Day
Billy Bear's Happy Earth Day - Plant a tree... and while you are at it... toss some flower & plant seeds about too! Even those pesky dandelions, make great food for our wildlife! Rabbits & Squirrels are just a couple animals that love to nibble them up!
Earth Day `99 - Brought to You by the Wilderness Society - The Wilderness Society's Earth Day page includes a time line of Earth-friendly occurrences. For example, in 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first national park. In 1964 the Wilderness Act was signed into law, designating 9.1 million acres as wilderness. There are plenty more of these blossoming along the years through 1997. There's a teacher's lounge section with suggested material for lesson plans. The founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson, offers both an audio and text message to encourage you to celebrate.
Lorax Saves the Trees Game - "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees!" Even very little children will have fun trying to catch seeds in this Shockwave game inspired by Dr. Seuss. Use your mouse to position your basket just right. If you catch ten seeds, you'll be able to replant the Truffula Forest, and the Truffula Forest is what everyone needs.
