Introduction
This annotated compendium of educational materials on environmental issues has been
compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Entries are diverse with
materials described ranging from workbooks to curriculum plans, to posters and
pamphlets, to newsletters, films, and computer software. /
The publication's citations have been organized into two major sections according to
the private and public sector organizations that have developed and produced
environmental education materials for teachers, other educators, and students. A third
section describes opportunities for educators to participate in workshops and to use
other resources that can enable them to better cover environmental topics in their work
with young people.
Users of this publication are encouraged to review citations and then contact the
organizations whose materials appear to be most suitable for achieving particular
informational and/or educational goals. This should help ensure awareness of the most
current materials available and any costs for them.
EPA hopes to expand and update this publication as additional resources are called
to its attention. Please make any recommendations for materials to be included by
