Smart Consumers - is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary guide, where middle school students can learn about how their consumer choices affect the environment and how they can make a difference by buying differently. It also contains a Community Action Guide, with project ideas and step-by-step advice on organising group projects. This latter is freely downloadable online, while the whole guide is on sell.

Soft drinks are not so soft! - in November 2004, the American Medical Student Association launched a campaign to boycott sodas and called on others to do the same. Here is an interesting and very informative brief article about the impacts sodas have on our health. You maybe will find some good raisons to switch to a more fresh & healthy orange juice!
