PBS KIDS GO! gearing up for Earth Day

pbs-kids-earth-dayI’m not entirely sure how it got to be April already, but it did. And that means we’re headed towards Earth Day! Of course, we’re trying to teach our kids that every day is Earth Day, but it is nice to have a commercially-sanctioned time to be extra-vigilant about our role in preserving the earth.

PBS KIDS GO! is pulling out all the stops this year—in addition to highlighting their new show The GREENS (a great show for kids about sustainability and green living), they’ve put up an Earth Day channel on their video site, where kids can watch episodes of The GREENS as well as earth-themed episodes of other PBS favorites like Maya and Miguel and Curious George.

That’s a great place to get even the youngest kids exciting about taking care of our planet… for Earth Day, and every day.

And parents, you’re not off the hook—check out the PBS Parents Expert Q&A Blog all month long; for the first half of the month, questions will be fielded by Dr. Alan Fortescue (of the Earthwatch Institute and advisor to The GREENS), and for the second half of April, Halle Stanford (Executive Vice President of Children’s Entertainment for The Jim Henson Company and an Executive Producer on Sid the Science Kid) will be answering questions. Don’t just talk the talk, parents. There’s plenty for us to learn, too, and plenty of resources out there to help us do it. Iddy biddy steps for all!

I’ll bet we can make Earth Day last the entire month (at least).
