Amazing government websites for kids! (via Jane Galt). Some favorites:
Yucca Mountain for Kids!
Key quote:
What if we took out the garbage, but let it pile up in our yards? Over time, our neighborhoods would become very unhealthy places to live. So we have sanitary workers pick up our garbage and properly dispose of it in landfills.
Right now, nuclear waste is piling up in a lot of places around the country.
Asks a friend: “Does Homeland Security know about this?”
CIA for Kids!
ATF for Kids!
And perhaps my favorite, this classic parade of horribles from the Bureau of Mine Safety and Health Administration – for Kids!:
Piles of of rock, dirt, or sand are not safe to climb or slide on. They can slide down on top of you and cover you up.
Big trucks, trains, and other machines can run over you. If you’re close to them, the drivers can’t see you. And if they do see someone in the way, it takes a long time for a big truck to slow down and stop.
Power lines, cables, and electric machinery can give you a DEADLY electric shock.
Explosives could go off and hurt you.
Ponds and old quarry pits full of water can drown you. There are no life guards, and dangers can be out of sight under the water.
Mine roads and off-road areas are not safe places to ride a bike or all-terrain vehicle. You could run into hidden pits or other hazards, fall off a steep place, or roll over and be badly hurt.
Underground shafts and tunnels can trap you. You could get lost, fall down a shaft, have rocks fall on you, or run into poisonous gas.
I also enjoyed the Center for Disease Control site�for kids!
Gee, that list of places that kids are forbidden to play in takes in every cool place I played in when I was a kid in the 1950’s and 60’s!
