What Parents Need to Know
About BigGreenHelp
Parents need to know that Nickelodeon's "green" site imparts positive messages and has no inappropriate content. There's not much in the way of text so early readers should be fine; however, the site does use big terms like "C02" and "sustainable." Some sections require a nickname and password to login, but kids are told not to use their real names or any personal information, and the site states it takes every precaution to keep kids safe online. There are links to Nick's other, more commercial sites and its online community, Nicktropolis. A message board links to Nick's safe main message board area, which includes links other message areas. Except for a "sponsored by Wal-Mart" image (that links to the store's site), the only other ads (kid-targeted) are on the message boards. The current game stars popular cartoon characters Sponge Bob and Patrick (more games will be added at the end of 2008).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how much time is enough to play even the best quality online games. What is a fair limit for computer time? When should you log off and play with real-life friends outside, learning about the Earth first-hand? Families can talk also about the new things this site taught them about how to take care of the environment. Can you pick three things you learned on the site that you can start doing today to help our planet?
