I want my E-videos!

Take a look at this...
Recycling Blues GreenWorks for Pennsylvania special guest star Environmental Ed accompanies his seventh grade class as they sing their own version of the "Recycling Blues." This home grown music video shows that recycling can be fun and eliminate the garbage dump blues. You can find this special program at GreenWords "GWTV Blues"

Or this...
Youth Cycle Recycle Program Learn how the Youth Cycle Recycle program of the Bicycle Coalition of the Delaware Valley brings new life to old discarded bikes. The coalition involves kids who learn about bike repair, bike safety, and recycling. You can find this special program at GreenWords "GWTV Bicycle."

Tired of the same old boring videos you see in class?

Why not tell your teacher to show something interesting like-

Echoes Through Penns Woods, a GreenWorks program on how the Susquehanna River once disappeared into a coal mine, how polluted air near Pittsburgh once killed 20 people, how people once tripped over dead fish on beaches along Lake Erie and how all Pennsylvania's forests were clean cut.

See how seventh graders in Bethlehem actually have FUN at school learning about the environment! Two students host a special GreenWorks TV show on the Monagacci Program and learn more!

Copies of these programs are available (along with a teacher's study guide for the Echoes program) by calling DEP's Environmental Education and Information Center at (717) 772-1828 or sending an e-mail with your postal address to olena.helen@dep.state.pa.us or use
GreenWords "Echoes."
