Have a look at these kids-and-penguin-friendly sites I've found.

KidsRgreen is one of the best websites I've found. Here you can take a trip around Spaceship Earth, try out activities and projects with your friends, challenge your skills with green games and much more. Definitely worth a visit!

EarthPlatform On EarthPlatform you can find out about the main problems our world faces... things like deforestation, global warming, endangered animals and pollution. Earth Platform is also a special environment search engine.

Jane Goodall Institute Founded by the well known chimpanzee expert, Jane Goodall, JGI is a global nonprofit organisation that helps people to make a difference for all living things. It's helping create healthy ecosystems, promoting sustainable livelihoods and nurturing new generations of committed, active people around the world. There are loads of things you can do, like helping with Roots & Shoots. Find out what Roots & Shoots is by clicking here.

Milking it? If you're aged 13-16, this site is for you. It lifts the lid on the complex world of international trade and shows how unfair trade rules make life seriously difficult for dairy farmers in very different countries. Take a quiz or find out what it's like to be a real farmer from Jamaica or Wales.

The first slum on the internet!   Mji wa Huruma village is one of the poorest slums in Nairobi (Kenya, Africa). It's really wonderful to see how these very poor people are managing to make a living. The kids have a little school (no paper to write on and certainly no computers) and there's even a darts club. Take a trip to see for yourself. Click the picture to go there.

I really liked this site. It's about all the sorts of stuff I'm interested in... you know, wildlife, forests, living gently on our planet. That sort of thing. There's a Fact of the Day and a Fun section (try the Creature Closeups - I loved that!). NRDC is short for Natural Resources Defense Council. What I liked best though is all their ideas for getting active - how you can really do something to help.

I think Antarctica is a really cool place. You might think it's just too cold. But you can take a trip there from this site and see loads of pictures of Antarctic animals like me.

Peaceculture.net: Here's an unusual site. A man called Martin Auer has written some short stories - especially for kids. Some are very short. (try 'Traffic Jam'). The stories seem simple enough but their messages are really important for everyone. Why are some people so unkind? Why do people fight wars? You'll find some answers here and have loads to think about.

Earth Island Institute:  Where can you find people helping whales, looking after a huge lake in Russia, watching over forests in the United States, helping local people in Borneo or Tibet and many more things like that? Earth Island , that's where. (Our planet is a sort of island, isn't it - but it's the only one!) Earth Island lets you get instantly active to help stop the damage some people are doing to our one and only island planet.

BritKid: This is a website about race, racism, and life - as seen though the eyes of the Britkids.
