Greetings all....

I'm wondering if I can get some help with some program ideas. We're under
construction, and our "new" building will be a "green" one. I'm looking for
some program ideas that tie in with things like: 
reusing rainwater
problems with storm water runoff
links between bodies of water and people's health water conservation
alternative energy sources

Clearly, I'm trying to present these ideas in a way that children can grasp.
I'd love to hear things you've tried, things that worked (or didn't) or
anything else you think may be helpful. You can reply offlist if you like,
although I'm guessing other people may be interested.

many thanks,
Alissa
