Renewables for Kids

The latest issue of Tunza, a magazine published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is devoted to renewable energy. While the publication is geared to youth, rest assured there's plenty in it for both kids and adults. For a sample of the editorial offerings, check out the 7 energy wonders, which include the crank-powered laptop, the Helios solar-powered airplane, and a compact, egg-beater style wind turbine designed to bring wind power to urban settings. The whole issue is available online, in both HTML and pdf versions.

UNEP's principal magazine, Our Planet, is also online. It ran a renewable energy issue earlier in the year. You can find it and many other UNEP publications at ourplanet.com.
