“This budget takes an important step toward boosting environmental education in the classroom and giving more kids the opportunity to get out and learn about the natural world around them,” said Senator Jack Reed (RI). “Environmental education can help raise student achievement in other core subjects like math and science. This is a smart investment in our children’s future and the future of our planet.” Click here to read more.
