WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE CHILD AT A TIME!

The Little Environmentalists is committed to developing and publishing children’s environmental education materials to promote environmental awareness, appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship. We believe that parents and educators want to teach children about nature and the environment, but may not have access to the tools and information to make learning about the environment exciting and simple. Everyone learns together with The Little Environmentalists!

 
THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH

What makes our products environmentally friendly?
100% Recycled Paper
100% Post-Consumer Waste
Processed Chlorine-Free
and Recyclable

Using Recycled Paper:

  • Reduces demand on forests
  • Uses less total energy
  • Lessens greenhouse gas emissions
  • Utilizes less bleach (chlorine), which decreases toxic chemicals in our environment
  • Produces fewer toxic releases
  • Saves water
  • Decreases waste that would be landfilled or incinerate

TAKE THE GO GREEN FAMILY CHALLENGE

Start the new year with a commitment to go green at home!

We are sorry, but we are not accepting any more entries.
We are looking for five families in southeast Wisconsin to take the Go Green Family Challenge. The Little Environmentalists is working with Metroparent Magazine to select five families to look at five areas: energy, food, water, recycling, and waste.
