Kids Go Green:
Be Part of the Solution

Chabot's Kids Go Green: Be Part of the Solution is a climate change initiative by kids – for kids, families and the community. Developed by Chabot's teen volunteers, the Galaxy Explorers, Kids Go Green was designed to teach kids and their families how to take practical, daily steps to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming.
