Kid's PACK (Population Awareness Campaign Kit for grades 2-6)
Elementary students will love this fun and educational kit designed specifically for them. The Kid's PACK entertains and informs children on the environment and human population growth through stories, games and concrete ideas for making a difference:

Now you can write your own booklet on your place on the planet. Try to "catch" pollution around your neighborhood. Can you observe the effects of crowding in the home gardening activity? Learn how to use the "power of the pen" in crafting messages to newspaper and magazine editors of your favorite publications, as well as to your legislators. The Kid's PACK even includes stickers, brainteasing word games, and a pull-out poster of "Amazing Eco Facts and Figures."

Teen PACK (Population Awareness Campaign Kit for grades 7-12)
The Teen PACK will empower you with letter writing tips, ideas on starting petition campaigns and suggestions for writing research papers on population and environmental topics. Articles inside provide background on trends in population growth, land use and resource consumption, and tell the story of teens who have become “eco-heroes” through local projects. The PACK also contains the popular global simulation, “Food for Thought,” perfect for youth clubs. A colorful art poster of people and wildlife is featured in each Teen PACK.
