They are also very street smart. Yet in some ways we're starting from scratch with these kids. All ideas are welcome - from simple lessons to projects to movies to watch to places to visit or speakers to present.
Are there any community gardens they can get involved in? Or speakers from community gardens? I think one of the best connections is food.
One of the bee experts at UC Berkeley does a presentation with foods (chocolate, fruits, vegetables, corn, wheat) and says, without bees (for pollination), you'd have only corn and wheat.

Great movie (documentary) -- lots of humor, has a plot!, connects lots of issues: Blue Vinyl. http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/bv.html
"With humor, chutzpah and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and co-director and award-winning cinematographer Daniel B. Gold set out in search of the truth about polyvinyl chloride (PVC), America's most popular plastic. From Long Island to Louisiana to Italy, they unearth the facts about PVC and its effects on human health and the environment.
"Back at the starter ranch, Helfand coaxes her terribly patient parents into replacing their vinyl siding on the condition that she can find a healthy, affordable alternative (and it has to look good!).
"A detective story, an eco-activism doc, and a rollicking comedy, BLUE VINYL puts a human face on the dangers posed by PVC at every stage of its life cycle, from factory to incinerator. Consumer consciousness and the "precautionary principle" have never been this much fun."
