Kids will learn about positive actions they can take to offset climate change, specifically teaching them ways they can reduce carbon gas emissions. Suitable for grades K-7. 45 minutes. The show is targeted to intermediate students but brings lots of fun to primary classes too. In its first two years of touring, Keep Cool was seen by 45,000 children, who pledged online to reduce their carbon footprint by 17,000 tonnes. Normally, performances are sponsored by municipal governments and are free to schools. We are also creating online interactive videos (target date: May 2010).
