  BURLINGTON, VT, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Seventh Generation, the nation's leading brand of environmentally
friendly, non-toxic home and personal care products and a renowned green
educator, has created educational and engaging curriculum and activities
for use by teachers in celebration of Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22,
2009.

    All curriculums are designed to increase students' awareness around
personal and environmental health and enrich their time in the classroom.
Teachers and administrators can download PDFs of the curriculum at
http://www.seventhgeneration.com/give/earth-day-lesson-plan.

    Curriculum is available for elementary, middle and high-school instruction
and is complete with the following:


--  Relevant, historical facts regarding Earth Day
--  Hands-on activities with an emphasis on the applied sciences requiring
    minimal materials and preparation
--  Discussion guides about indoor and outdoor environmental health and
    conservation
--  Carbon Calculator to determine a family's carbon footprint
    

    
"This curriculum serves to motivate and stimulate students on the
topic of environmental health and conservation, establishing base-line
knowledge to encourage thoughtful decisions and behavior," said Seventh
Generation Director of Education Susan Johnson. "Seventh Generation is
genuinely invested in generating inspiration through education."

    In a time when American education is deemed underperforming, teachers feel
unprecedented pressure to not only teach to and administer standardized
testing, but to employ creativity in the classroom and challenge students
with timely and applicable content.

    A new administration has passed legislation to fund improvements in math
and science and make the United States a competitive landscape once again.
In the meantime, while billions of dollars are currently under review for
allocation, teachers can use these budget-friendly materials that require
little to no extra preparation to utilize. Seventh Generation's Earth Day
lesson plans are equal parts fun and relatable allowing students to
transfer what they learn at school into life at home and beyond.
