Into The Green Blue - The Green Blue's new interactive CD Rom

NEWS RELEASE 20 July 2007

The Green Blue launched its latest tool to promote environmental messages to boaters with their brand new ‘Into The Green Blue’ CD-Rom at Southampton Boat Show this year.

The new CD-Rom is designed to give training centres and clubs more resources to help teach kids and young adults the importance of environmental issues whilst on and around the water. 

Jam-packed with information and exciting features including, virtual boats and interactive games, the CD-Rom includes testimonials from various boating figure heads and ambassadors such as Dee Caffari and Mike Golding.  It also includes facts and figures about the scale of environmental issues and a plethora of learning resources. The CD Rom boasts a well stocked library of material for schools and clubs to use to help highlight important environmental issues.

Featured in the 'Resource' section are a series of activity sheets suitable for downloading which have now all been translated into Welsh. Designed to educate and inform young people about protecting the environment whilst on or near the water, each sheet gives equipment needed, target age group and instructions on leading the activity.

These sheets are ideal for clubs, schools and training centres and can be downloaded below. The full CD Rom with English versions can also be requested from info@thegreenblue.org.uk
