But, today’s zoos (the good ones anyway) are teaching opportunities for children; they need to learn that ensuring some kind of future for the world’s animals will be up to them, and zoos are a great place for that learning to start.

Bailey Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:41:42 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=1164#comment-22285 It sounds like you have a great job. Getting the environmental message out to children is not the easiest thing to do. But it will pay off big later in life if children start to learn about environmental issues early in life. I work in a library moving carts and running sensitizers. We have a large children’s department that has a number of books and DVD’s on environmental issues like animal lifestyles, coal, solar power, mining, hydrogen power, recycling, water conservation, energy, soil conservation. This information starts at preschool level with the toddler books, and goes up to the kindergarten age picture books, the 1st and 2ed grade easy readers, and then 4th, 5th, and 6th grade levels in the children’s non-fiction department. This is also an important asset because many of the school district’s campus libraries are closing because of budget cuts. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.
