Helping Youngsters Utter The Words I Can Save The Earth
Eco-Libris is a wonderful organization. Striving to bring the youngest generation closer to the joys and edifications of literature while planting trees at the same time, Eco-Libris represents the future of brick and mortar publishing.
Publishing giant Simon & Schuster has been part of the problem, though, failing time and again to embrace low-impact printing methods and recycled paper. Now, Simon & Schuster has engaged with Eco-Libris to herald the launch of its new publishing arm, Little Green Books, a delightful concept. The good news doesn’t stop there. You guessed it! The launch of Little Green Books coincides with a literature contest, this time for children.
Over the course of the last 6 weeks, I have shared with you two posts about literary contests sponsored by conservation charities, Defenders of Wildlife and Environmental Defense. Now, we have a third: I Can Save The Earth! What a great title!
It is a documented fact that youngsters learn difficult concepts such as computing and multilingualism much faster than adults because their neural nets are in developmental stages. Instilling in them the urgency of naturalism and the need to combat global warming also is most effective at young ages.
I commend Eco-Libris and Simon & Schuster for their I Can Save The Earth contest and encourage you to share with all the children you know that they have the chance to submit to the contest until December 1. You’ll find all of the details at
