What's NEW at Skipping Stones?
Beginning with our September - October 2011 issue, Skipping Stones will carry an educational feature on Energy and Ecology topics in each issue. In this on-going feature, we plan to deal with one or more of these topics: renewable energy, solar energy, energy conservation and efficiency, water quality and water conservation, watershed protection, sustainability, community needs, ecological issues, climate change and our common future. We invite your contributions (1,000 words or less) for this need of the hour. Send us your thoughts, ideas, practices and experiences for possible publication! Both young writers and educators are invited to contribute their voices by e-mail or snail mail.
