The Earth Needs YOUR Help, the first part of the Eco Kids series, discusses some the biggest problems facing the environment today and how it is being abused. We'll learn the role of the greenhouse effect, carbon emissions, air pollution and how the burning of the rainforest affects global warming. The "carbon footprint" is explained as well as an experiment with acid rain. We also learn about the amount of water and unnecessary packaging material people use everyday. This episode sparks students' knowledge of what they can do to "refuse, reuse and recycle" contributing to a healthier Earth.
