Children are our future! Green-e has developed the following list of helpful links for teachers and students to learn about the importance of renewable energy. Educating students about the environmental costs of energy use is one of the best ways to make them aware of important role individuals can play in creating a cleaner, healthier world. Helping children understand all aspects of our energy sources will educate them about energy use at home and at school.
