E-research and educational publisher Gale, part of Cengage Learning, US, is offering free resources on its completely updated Environmental Resource website (http://www.galeschools.com/environment/) in celebration of Earth Day. Users can browse the activities page (http://www.galeschools.com/environment/activities.htm) to learn more about endangered species, biomes, tips on 'going green,' lesson plans and more, or download a free bookmark, poster or screensaver.
Tools and resources are available at http://www.galeschools.com/environment/tools.htm and include a parent's and teacher's guide, fun scientific projects at 'Experiment Central,' and details on environmental ethics.
Also accessible from the Environmental Resource website is a preview of Gale's new online resource GREENR (Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources), due to release in June; and Global Issues in Context, providing the latest information on hot topics such as climate change, nuclear and renewable energy and recycling.
