As kids learn their ABCs, they associate each letter with a green living concept; the letter &#8220;R,&#8221; for example, stands for &#8220;Recycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Green ABC&#8217;s employs sets of colorful flash cards, coloring books, and workbooks that can be easily distributed to kids and socially responsible adults.
