Educator's Tools:
Alternative Fuels Education
Alternative Fuels Tools for Educators from Clean Fuels Ohio. This website
will help you teach your students about alternative fuels. We are a non-partisan
nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing air pollution through lessening
our Nation’s use of petroleum. We do not play favorites with alternative
fuels—all alternatives to petroleum have their pros and cons. We invite
you and your students to study them and decide for yourselves. |

Smog
City is an interactive air pollution simulator that shows how your choices,
environmental factors, and land use contribute to air pollution. In Smog
City you're in control so your visit can be a healthy or unhealthy experience
depending on the decisions you make. You'll see how ground-level ozone,
the biggest part of summertime smog, increases or decreases when you spend
a day in Smog City. |

Energy
Quest is the award-winning energy education website of the California
Energy Commission. It debuted on the World Wide Web on October 1, 1995,
to celebrate October as National Energy Awareness Month! Teaching an "energy
ethic" to conserve finite resources is essential to our energy future, which
is currently dependent on fossil fuels. We also must rely on our youth to
help us create new ways to harness the elemental forces of our planet and
the universe. They are tomorrow's scientists and inventors. |

Breathers ain't no cheesy public service message. Real students worked
in front of and behind the camera to show you some cool vehicle technologies
and seriously disgusting air pollution problems. |
