Ice Cream Expedition: Snacking for Conservation

Teaching kids the importance of conservation can be difficult: classroom lessons are often boring, while there is too much to explore while they're playing outside. But National Geographic Young Explorers Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke may have found the perfect vehicle to deliver the message of saving the outdoors: ice cream, from a truck that runs on recycled cooking oil. The trio served up some of their avocado, guava, mango and coconut/purple yam to talk about their cross country road trip bribing children for promises of environmental care.
