- A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.

So how do you teach your kids to grow into ‘greenies’? Kids are actually learning to go green faster than their parents, and in many instances, it is the kids who are teaching the parents to go green. As seen last years Earth Day Post, Children Say We’re Failing Them and The Planet, it is the children that are demanding that we go green more. However regardless of chidlren’s encouragement and pressure, it is up to us to lead the way and show that we will not take no for an answer.
