Last week, Sharon Lowe (a mom of 3 young children) and a panel of experts launched the first global, social networking site for young environmentalists – Habitat Heroes. The site is geared towards children ages 6 to 12 and registration is free. It is referred to as a “Club Penguin meets Greenpeace”.
On the site, kids will be able to learn fun facts about the environment, play games, and chat with other young environmentalist. The site is a safe and moderated online environment. As an added bonus, the site has exclusive footage of the cast of Disney XD’s popular television show “Aaron Stone” as they discuss their thoughts on saving the planet.
(Parents should note that the site does contain corporate sponsorship and product placement. However, money raised by Habitat Heroes™ is donated to environmental charities including Global Green U.S.A., PlayPumps International and The Climate Project.)
