We need to do more to get children outside to explore and learn about their natural world. And we need an environmentally literate citizenry to face the challenges posed in the 21st Century.

That means making sure that Congress passes the No Child Left Inside Act, legislation that ensures that more children receive high-quality lessons at school about the environment and environmental challenges. The Act would provide much-needed new funding to help states provide teacher training and expand high-quality environmental education programs. Environmental lessons will engage kids with the great outdoors and foster a lifelong appreciation of the environment.
