EDUCATIONAL SITES

Rustle The Leaf Mother Nature has a new ally in the war on pollution: a talking, walking (actually, hopping), Butternut Tree leaf named 'Rustle™'. He's an ambassador to elementary school children, their parents and teachers. You can visit Rustle today at www.rustletheleaf.com. The site features environmentally-themed games, activities, computer wallpapers, teaching lesson plans and something different: a monthly comic strip that chronicles Rustle's interaction with nature and with a truly inspired cast of characters.

Rustle is part of Citra-Solv's long-term strategy for educating children during critical years when their "environmental habits" are being formed. He and his friends represent our way of reaching out to kids-not with a commercial message-but with fun and interesting content that can have an impact on their developing attitudes about the Earth, pollution, recycling and responsibility.
