PBS Kids, ZOOM action - Help the Environment

http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/action/way04.html

This website of the PBS show ZOOM offers different ideas of how to help the environment. Several examples of student projects are "spotlighted". One project spotlight, called "Playground Pick-up", is a great example of a beautification project. Students picked up playground trash, created a sign that says "Please Keep Our Park Clean," and raised money through a bake sale to buy plants for the park. Good steps and tips are given on how you can start your own clean-up project.
