Web and Environment

I think the internet can play a vital role in changing the way people view our world. Today you can find so much inforamtion online that's free including peer reviewed articles and books. You can use the internet to educate yourself and children. I found 2 sites with games and the one that I found the most interesting for children is http://wwf.panda.org/how_you_can_help/games/. The website is part of WWF (World of Wildlife Fund) and is informative for children. On the other hand I found this other website that is funded by the National Science Foundation

http://www.globalwarminginteractive.com/index.htm. I found it to be very boring and although they are still working on the site they should make it more child friendly. I think the best sites will include sections for both adults and children although it is more important to educate children since they may be able to make a greater change then us. A site dealing with the environment that I love is http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/. National Geographic is a great way to educate yourself and others about many different issues including the environment and global warming, at least as a starting point. The web is one of the most important ways to educate/inform people on what is important to you. Most people I know don't really watch TV anymore because they can watch their favorite shows, films, and news online. But sites should include sections for different age groups, links to other sites that may be informative, even how to do research at your local library. It should also allow people to comment on the articles, videos, etc because its the only way to keep the conversation going without it there won't be any change.
