Scholastic GO! is going "green" for April to celebrate Keep America Beautiful Month as well as Earth Day (4/22) and Arbor Day (4/28). We're focusing on the environment and related topics from every perspective, with articles on history, science, government, activism, and more. There's also one national resource getting special attention this month—libraries—with National Library Week (4/9-4/15).
