It’s Earth Day, and thanks to my kids, I remembered it.
The art project my three-year-old brought home from preschool was a tree. When he heard one of the children’s TV shows we were watching mention Earth Day, he said, “That’s today. We learned it at school.”
My nine-year-old daughter is always turning off extra lights in our house, while talking about global warming and conserving energy.
It gives me hope to know that our children are growing up with a natural concern for our planet.
Children’s media is largely responsible for this. I’ve reviewed a couple books which educate children about conservation. The show “It’s a Big, Big World” invites children to join in the adventures of Snook, the charismatic sloth who lives in the World Tree with his colorful animal friends. Together they investigate the world around them and discover how different things live, grow and change.

Great DVD – count me in please. I have involved my 3 granchildren in collecting cans and bottles for recycling. Each has a savings account and the recycling proceeds are deposited and we call this their ‘College Fund’.
this sounds like a great DVD!
It sounds like a great Dvd and also is helping to teach future generations about how important it is to take care our of planet.
I would love this as well!

It sounds like a great DVD kids will watch movies better then getting them to read
This is truly a kids movie of our time – thanks!
I have to say this year my kids are also more conscious about earth week, earth day!! They have been pitching in! We recycle, use re-usable bags, switch off lights we don’t need and I’m replacing my cleaning products to “green” ones. I would love to win this for my kids, it would really help.

Sounds like a great DVD! Thanks for introducing it to us!
Very educational
We all need to do our part in helping to keep our earth green.
All children could benefit from a dvd like this.
My twins LOVE Big, Big, World. They normally watch it before going to bed because it’s a more quiet show, especially the singing at the end than a lot of the other cartoons.
We are really trying to get green here! This would be great!
My daughter would love this. She goes around the house saying “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.
OHHH, I homeschool and would love to have this!
Looks interesting. I am always looking for a greener path.
I would like to win this DVD

My son is 6 and we try hard to teach him the value of our Earth. He is great about recycling, participating in vounteer events with us to pick up litter, and picking up litter on his school playgrund as he sees it.
I would love this dvd as another way to teach him about our Earth and our part in protecting it.
this dvd would be very educational for our whole family…thanks!!!

Cool count me in!
this would be great for my classroom
My boys and I, find simple ways to recycle. I find that starting one step at a time is the best way to go. Don’t try to change your entire life at once, just take one step at a time. This DVD looks like a great way to educate people.
What a fun reinforcement of my values for the kids.
Cool
I’m into teaching my children as much as I can about the earth and how we can better it!
