Earth Day in Indy With Kids

Tomorrow is Earth Day and has been a focus for our family all month. We have been checking out books at the library and planning Earth Day meetings/activities for Boy Scouts and my son's preschool. It is a great month to take advantage of the many opportunities to share Earth Day in Indy with kids. Your local library is a great resource to find books and movies on recycling, water pollution, organic farming and local food and much more. Here are some books we checked out: 50 simple things kids can do to recycle by Earth Works Group; Water Pollution by Rhonda Lucas Donald; Do you know where your food comes from? by Neil Morris; Endangered Planet by David Burnie and for your preschooler, 10 things I can do to help my world: fun and easy by Melanie Walsh.
