Social networking site helps teens connect to green

From Green Right Now Reports

Environmentally minded teens looking for a place to interact, share ideas and learn about careers and university programs can turn to a new social networking site Planet Connect.

Designed by teens – the best advisors on social networking – Planet Connect was launched this spring by the National Environmental Education Foundation in partnership with The Weather Channel. Students will find lots of info about environmental topics and about environmental clubs and activities around the country.

The networking capabilities of the site allow students across the country to share exciting environmental news tidbits and strategies for having an impact in their schools and communities.

“In many ways students are leaders in the climate change discussion, and The Weather Channel is proud to partner with Planet Connect in this exciting environmental exchange,” Lynn Brindell, executive vice president of strategic marketing at The Weather Channel, said in a statement.
