Kids & Teachers

You Make the Choice is especially for those who stand to benefit the most from efforts at sustainability — kids (and those who teach them.) Information and links directed at teaching children can be found below. Teaching resources are presented separately and are directed at those responsible for generating and delivering curriculum in their communities.  


Learning about the proper use and eventual disposal of eco-friendly products is essential to ensuring a sustainable future.
