To contribute my team and I are working to create a childrens book depicting the outcomes of not recycling, global warming, and what the children can do to help out the Earth. We are hoping that if the children see how global warming affects them personally the drive to help out will be started in them young. In this case it can also bring the message back home to their parents who may be interested in the new found subjuct in their kids.
All around we are trying to find facts that are not only truthful but also things that are happening right here in Florida so the kids can compare the book and their actual life. This way the effects are personal and can make the kids want to make a difference in their commuity.
Some research has been done, however trying to pick out a limited amount of facts to fit into a childrens book which makes sense in a chronological order is taking much more effort than was originally thought. Yet, the outlook seems promising and we will be sure to update on the research we find.
If you have any suggestings please feel free to inquire.
Thank you.

I was looking up interactive websites for kids about climate change and whatnot. There's a lot out there, here's a link to one in particular that I thought was pretty cool and easy to use for small children and may give you guys some ideas. Good luck with your project, it sounds really fun.
