Eco for Kids is a lively educational program designed to teach children about conserving Earth’s natural resources. It emphasizes the importance of caring for the environment, and it shows that day-to-day routines keep the ecological habitat in balance. Simple practices such as taking shorter showers, closing the faucet when it is not being used, and conserving electricity by turning off the lights, along with reducing, reusing and recycling, will help make the Earth happy.

The show is designed mainly for young audiences (ages 3 to 8 years), but it is suitable for the whole family, because both kids and parents will identify with these life lessons. Eco for Kids successfully teaches the kids through entertainment.

The colorful main character is a life size ambassador from Ecolandia, and his name is Eco. Ecolandia is a planet where everyone lives in complete harmony. Using everyday situations as his models, Eco motivates this generation of children to make conscious decisions about their day-to-day habits that will improve Earth. Through song and dance, Eco is able to reach audiences of all ages. After watching an episode, it is guaranteed that households will be singing the catchy theme song and feeling that they, too, can make a difference.

Amanda is a conscientious girl who always has the desire to learn more about the environment. She is the overachiever, the child who takes to heart the lessons provided by Eco and puts them into practice. Amanda possesses the spirit and determination to accomplish the goals set forth by Eco.

Max is the typical lighthearted boy, never acting in a harmful manner, but also not taking into consideration the consequences of his actions. He carries an innocence about him that endears him to his audience. His character demonstrates the ability for personal growth through guidance, namely from Eco’s parental-like demeanor.

In addition to the broadcast, Eco for Kids offers many additional opportunities for hands-on learning. The Eco for Kids Activity Book contains games, mazes, and coloring pages all taught with the 3 R’s in mind. The official website, www.ecoforkids.com, includes further educational resources, opportunities to blog with other families and share conservation ideas, plus more. Eco for Kids will be reaching out to today’s children on a more personal level, as elementary school assemblies will focus on what students can do in their own neighborhoods to make Earth a happy place. Eco will come to school campuses with age-appropriate performances.
