Earth Day serves as a needed reminder to be more aware about taking care of our world, being environmentally conscious, and adopting green behaviors.  You and your kids can boost your knowledge by watching some great educational movies and television programming. (Thanks to Family Circle for the great information):

• Born to Be Wild 3D:  An IMAX move about people who rescue and raisie orphaned elephants.
• Planet Earth:  Check out this Discovery Channel serires on different habitats.
• An Inconvenient Truth: For slightly older kids, Al Gore’s film about global warming.
• Oceans: DisneyNature’s extraordinatory visual about the world’s five oceans and the animals that live in them.  

So get some popcorn and snuggle together for some family entertainment.  It’s an easy way to make Earth Day fun and educational.
