Teachable Moment: The Big Green Help

TheBigGreenHelp.com, sponsored by Nickelodeon, provides a hub of green resources for kids. With games, videos, a glossary, trivia, and daily green tips, youth can engage in interactive entertainment that also teaches the importance of protecting the environment. After learning about concepts such as fossil fuels, the greenhouse effect, locavores, and sustainability, and playing games where they help pick up trash off the ocean floor and protect polar bears, youth can pledge to reduce their own carbon footprint.

Why We Like it: This pro-social campaign is not only a youth-focused website but also includes an 82-page digital educator’s guide with activities, worksheets, event planning steps, and tips to help kids connect at a grassroots level. Through entertainment familiar to youth, The Big Green Help gets kids thinking about the bigger picture and provides them with an outlet to take responsibility for their actions and realize the positive impact they can make each day.
