Will science teachers send kid's Earth Day reports to recycle bin? Green lighting manufacturer has bright hopes

(PRLEAP.COM) To help students worldwide complete their Earth Day homework faster so they can get outdoors and enjoy the Earth, ceramic lighting fixtures manufacturer A19 released 16 articles on electricity generation and water use, with titles such as "Dark Sky: $1.7 billion Government Secret Ops Program?" and "Turtle-Friendly Lighting: It’s easier than doing time on a federal or state rap."

"I remember being a kid and being overwhelmed by my own science report assignments, and let’s face it: there’s tons of information but it’s hard to get it in one place and hard to understand," explained A19 founder and president Cinnamon Alvarez. "It just makes sense to reuse, reduce, and recycle our own articles for the kids. Since we’ve already done a lot of research in compiling these articles as educational materials for our own customers, I want the kids today to have what I never had: a chance to get that info in one place, get the report done, and then get outside and have fun," added Alvarez.

Because much of this information is delivered to adult readers who have no science backgrounds, A19’s articles are already easy to read: it translates public information into words it promises its readers is always "kid-friendly" language.

"I have bright hopes that we can play a small part in helping these kids get from behind their study desks and outside where the real celebration of Earth takes place," added Alvarez.

About A19: A19, which manufactures handmade ceramic lighting fixtures in a green facility in the US, committed itself to environmental and social responsibility since its founding in January 2000. It uses clay and recycled glass, both inert materials, to make its pieces one at a time, which are then fired in kilns specially designed for efficiency and shipped in used boxes. All excess clay, glass, and water from manufacturing are reclaimed and reused. Because the fixtures are green manufactured with local materials and accept ENERGY STAR bases and lamps, A19 fixtures contribute points for construction projects seeking LEED certification by the US Green Building Council. A19 helps to expand green knowledge also through its ongoing educational article series on green lighting and energy efficiency, specifically discussing electricity and water (48% of water used in the US goes to producing electricity). The articles’ growing audience includes: lighting retailers, interior designers and design students, architects, builders, and students looking to save time in doing their homework.
