This program is designed as a way for children at almost any level to either jump start or reinforce the concept of environmental stewardship. The by-product of this program is also an increased appreciation for math and science, and the concept that measurement is the key to management. Plus, children develop a simple but powerful understanding about how small individual gestures can make a large impact on a community and the planet.
