For those who wish to participate in Earth Day activities online, the Internet offers several ways to get involved directly from your keyboard. Oriented to allow children from all over the world to meet in video conferences, this site helps share ideas from a children's perspective about how to make the world a better place. Happy Earth Day email cards are also available. As more U.S. schools gain Internet access, organizations are tailoring Web sites specifically for teacher-student activities. The National PTA Earth Week 1999 special section hosts a student awareness earth week from April 18 to 24.
Students can download activity booklets while learning about clean air, water and land.
An organization called the Earth Day Groceries Project promotes a nationwide campaign to unite school children with local grocery stores. Children decorate grocery bags that will later be passed out at local stores in hopes of increasing environmental awareness about Earth Day. Information about how to participate and instructions for the classroom are posted at the site. The Environmental Protection Agency offers a downloadable Earth Day coloring book along with links to several useful environmental resources. The Wilderness Society hosts an Earth Day section posting a message from Earth Day founder John McConnell and an environmental timeline.
