Introduction
Now more than ever it is important to educate students to start thinking "green." With this goal in mind, the Transatlantic Outreach Program has created its own "green" curriculum for educators, entitled It's Up to You & Me, Here & Across the Sea. Additionally, Germany's Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety has translated five of its volumes into English: Environment and Health, Biological Diversity, Climate Protection & Policy, Renewable Energies, and Water in the 21st Century. All volumes may be downloaded in PDF format below.
