Obviously.ca....new environmental website for teens

clipped from www.obviously.ca obviously.ca is the brainchild of a group of 20-something-year-old Ontario government employees. Our bosses thought that the province and the planet could benefit from letting us young’uns do the talking about environmental issues for a while. Specifically, we were asked to develop and environmental website. And so, we did. Obviously. The purpose of the site is to bring you up to speed on environmental issues (without putting you to sleep), and to give you a slew of answers to the age-old "What can I do?" question. We want you to want to play a part in rehabilitating the planet. clipped from www.obviously.ca “Get Out of the Damn Shower!” … And Other Neato Water Conservation Tips! By Jess.

Obviously a worthwhile website to explore and share!

The Ministry of the Environment has created this website for secondary students "to explain the challenges facing our planet and inspire them to take actions that protect the environment - all within an interactive media experience that includes music clips and videos. "Obviously.ca is unique. Most environmental government websites bombard you with information and boring statistics," said Sandra Giangioppo, a student at William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute in Toronto. "But obviously.ca uses creative techniques such as video clips and interesting facts to grab your attention and really help you understand the important environmental issues out there. It is a very innovative and cool approach to increasing environmental issues awareness."
