Edutopia goes green

I just received a note from Edutopia announcing its new Go Green initiative. Apparently they’ve created a database / clearinghouse designed to help educators ‘integrate knowledge and awareness of Earth’s fragility into classwork and community service.’

Personally, I think this is a great idea, but I wonder how long it will take before some disbelieving citizens challenge schools’ use of these materials, similar to the controversy that occurred in Federal Way, Washington regarding the film An Inconvenient Truth.
