"Pennies for the Planet" is an annual kids campaign, started in 1994, that links environmental education with environmental action. Each year, as part of the campaign, kids across the United States participate in a variety of community-based environmentally inspired activities. This year's program targets Asia's temperate forests of Southwest China, Africa's rain forests of the Congo Basin, and the rich waters of the Bering Sea.

"Pennies for the Planet" campaign kicks off on Earth Day, and will continue through the spring and summer. To support global conservation efforts, kids can collect, earn, save, and send in pennies to support conservation projects and local education efforts in this year's target ecoregions. Every penny raised by kids will go directly to field projects and local education efforts that protect these ecoregions and their critical species, habitats, and ecosystems.

NOTE to my readers: We provide resource links to help you protect and nurture your natural resources. Tip: when you contact suppliers in person, online, by phone or email...please ask them about alternatives that are sustainable, green, or habitat-healthy. By asking, we advocate for better protection of our natural resources. Thank you, Carolyn.
