PBS Kids' EekoCreature

eekocreaturePBS Kids has developed Eekoworld (Environmental Education for Kids Online). This interactive Website for kids age 6-9 presents the environmental issues facing us today and shows kids how they can help take care of the earth. Animated characters use games and activities to present facts about ecosystems and pollution. The site made up of two main interactive games: EekoCreature and EekoHouse. In one, children can build their own "EekoCreature" and help it overcome environmental problems. The second, EekoHouse, invites children to explore a house that shows how decisions they make affect the environment and their EekoCreature.

Hull Wind Power

hullwind.orgHullWind.org explains what its like for one coastal community that has embraced renewable wind energy. The town of Hull was the first community to install a wind turbine on the East Coast. At hullwind.org, you can learn how the turbine has been embraced by the community and about plans to build a second turbine. The site contains many links with information on wind power, pictures of the Hull turbine, and video interviews of members of the community. Photo by Brian Tague.
